Quote from Tsing Tao:

I have an issue with this statement. Where is it again you are getting this hard fact from?

It's my (deliberately incendiary) take on the 8% differential mentioned in the lead article.

Despite taking license in my statement, my overarching aim in starting this thread was to highlight an issue that cannot be bounded or defined by partisan divisions.

Quote from mrbill:

SS is simply a paid into retirement plan, and people, as you say, are entitled to the money when they retire. .. A retirement program, forced or not, is still your money.

That's just simply not true of social security.
It's not your money and you have no rights of claim to it .


IOW: Just because you expect it does not mean you are entitled to nor earned it.

No, I'm pointing out how blacks are being promoted in government and universities simply because of their skin color.
