[@BTrain-is8ch]

Sell people on a program where they benefit disproportionately to what they spend and of course the program is liable to be popular. Flip it and give people a program where their cost is disproportionate to their benefit and of course the program is liable to be unpopular. Free healthcare is an incredibly popular idea. A 12% flat tax to pay for said free healthcare (same way the UK pays for theirs) is incredibly unpopular. Selling people on free things is the equivalent of weekly pizza parties.

@@BTrain-is8ch First of all, uncapping Medicare pretty much covers it at the current rate. Secondly, even at 12%, that amounts to ~$3750 for the average American vs ~$6720 in insurance premiums. And you can double that for when insurance actually starts to pay for anything.

7:06 this also goes back to Sam’s earlier statement, that -not only does Social Security prevents 2/3 of the elderly from falling into poverty, it also helps the younger generation of the those elderly people from having to impoverish themselves to keep their parents, grandparents, or other loved ones alive as they age and their medical needs increase.

[@terryo4352]

yea these guys dont give a fuck if your life falls apart when your elderly parent can no longer take care of themselves, can no longer drive or hear or clean themselves. "i got mine, fuck you" is all they ever fucking think, and I bet they call themselves "patriots" too.

[@rogerforsythe5310]

If a 401K plan were administered like Social Security (but money kept private and invested in stocks) the average return per year since 1980 would be 11.93%. That is far greater than the return on Social Security which is a convenient black box equation that you can't check (imagine your bank getting away with this lol). I would be a millionaire many times over if the money invested in my Social Security went into a 401K instead. What am I getting from Social Security? $2,700 a month! That is about $32,000 a year. let us say I live to 80 and starting collection social security at age 65. 15 years x 32,000, $480,000.00. What a joke. Invested in the stock market via a 401K I would have 6 million dollars.

[@Rikaru536]

PBD has a tendency to defensively flip to "personal responsibility" when losing an argument on the merits. This is a great example, saying "but society is better off we all don't need it." AKA 'just make better decisions and you won't need Social Security'. He did this all throughout the podcast.

[@aellaaskew4263]

This disgusts me, when I suffered a spine injury and found out in my state my employer didn't need to carry workers comp in a small company it had nothing to do with planning! I had just moved to the state and it was a new job, In fact it was my "retirement job" something they will never understand needing, so I was in a good position in life. I had planned for the best outcome, and medical tragedy struck as it could to anyone anyday.

I am a tax accountant and it's absurd to me that social security has a cap. All it tells me is that the working class contributes all of their money dollar for dollar at 6.2% while the richer get a cap with a less effective rate, but can extract their social security at the max rate (as they should be able to). These are the same people that claim it's an entitlement program, but feel entitled to take their entire share out. Raise the cap, everyone gets a withdrawal raise and less dependency on socializing the American Corporatist 401k system. There's a reason it's popular because it works and it benefits the majority of Americans. It is social insurance and Sam nailed it.

Anyone who runs an MLM is a disgusting pos in my mind. What an incredibly shitty thing to do to people - promise them financial freedom and their own “business” only to make them your customer. The amount of free labor people do when they join MLMs is staggering. The amount of people who *lose* money is proof enough of that. Such an incredibly disgusting and exploitative business model.

[@jessetorres8738]

I firmly believe that we need to implement a sick leave as well as maternity & paternity leave programs for all workers in this country. I personally feel that every time worker in this country regardless of their job should be guaranteed at least 2 weeks of sick leave & 2 weeks vacation per year. In addition to guaranteed sick leave, we also need to allow both mothers & fathers who just had a baby to be guaranteed time off with pay as well, so that way businesses can ensure that their employees at all levels can come into work feeling their best & contributing their best physically and mentally everyday. Finally, I firmly believe that "Working Poor" should not be a thing! If you work full time every week of the year, you shouldn't be living at or below the poverty line in this country! Hence why I feel there should be a Universal Basic Income for every American citizen above the age of 16 based on what the poverty level is so that way no one who works full time should have to financially struggle to get by.

[@peterclarke7240]

Two weeks of vacation? Mate, look at Europe. Two weeks of vacation is pathetic. Even in the UK, a notoriously horible country for worker's rights, we get over 5 weeks of paid holiday. I moved to the states in the 2000s, and I was absolutely appalled by your labour laws. No wonder everyone's either off their face on pain meds or going postal. Jeez.

I oppose Social Security for the following: 1. They don't publish annual returns (shocking). 2. The return on your investment is way lower than any other investment. 3. If you die early, you lose it all (401K money goes to your family). 4. It's not your money, the government controls it and can cut it anytime. Imagine a bank account where the bank can suddenly decide to cut your balance. It's the greatest ripoff program ever.

That's just companies being traitors to their fellow countrymen and screwing them out of jobs. And no one forces anyone to take " a risk" like that . That risk is a choice. Boo fucking hoo. People take that risk because they full well understand that working for someone else isn't rewarding often times. They feel like they want to hold on to what they make and not have to give it to a boss. And then they end up being that boss, acting as if they don't understand how this works. Acting like the only reason they took that risk is to help society and be job creators. And obviously that's bull. They took that risk because they wanted to profit the most, they eventually want to be able to have other people do their work for their company. An employee also takes a risk on a company. Losing your normal to low paying job is horrible. Finding another job isn't that easy, at least for a lot of people. Or having to work with dangerous chemicals, doing work that breaks the body or just having to do more work because of inept bosses. It's a joint risk, risky in a different way but also WAY LESS rewarding. Since underpaying employees is almost a must. No probs for taking a risk that's unnecessary most of the time, how about these risk takers get a normal job like the rest of us. Or shut up and just try a business..
