Is Social Security a "Ponzi Scheme?"

You know, a "pyramid scheme" where new investors pay returns from those who invested earlier.

Maybe?

But that is also how the stock market works too, isnt it?

How about real estate?

Now that I'm thinking about it, isn't the entire financial system kind of a ponzi scheme?

I doubt you will hear calls to sunset the stock or real estate market though.

After all, the companies in these industries are the ones donating to the elected officials.

Not to mention, they stand to gain the most if the Social Security system is shut down.

If it happens, that means more Risk for you.

And its always been about YOU taking more risk while they sit back and collect their fees regardless of whether you succeed or not.

Regardless if they succeed in eliminating Social Security, dont play the game the way they want you to play by...

Learn how to play the way THEY play.
