Peter P said:
There should be ZERO tolerance against people like BobH. The titles of his threads were so outrageous that I was afraid to click on them.
One suggestion: a "flag for attention" link
Posters like him must be censored earlier rather than later.

68% want to scrap social security cap,
Peter P said:
I actually agree. Lets import the highly skilled, high wage earners. We are not turning out enough educated workers to keep our competitive edge. Importing them is the easy way out. We don't have to spend the money educating them, while taking all the benefits.
What a deal.You know, we probably have many things in common. ;-)
Importing more immigrants is better than having more births because it is easier to be selective.

Peter P said:
That is right, it is a ponzi scheme. The success of any ponzi scheme hinges on new participants jumping in, and making SS mandatory guarantees that.
You need both participation and participants. This is why we need more immigrants.

If SS is not a ponzi scheme and you can extract what you paid into then there will never be any question of solvency.

No.
Then Bernie Madoff ought to be set free and given a congressional medal. What he did was much less harmful. He did not force ME to hand over money.

I am willing to give Windows 8 a try next time.
Android is not responsive enough for me. But then perhaps Jelly Bean will solve this problem.

Peter P said:
Yeah, let's ditch social security so that old people who had bad luck with their investments (anyone retiring in 2007, for instance) or never earned enough to save in the first place just die in the street.
How did their problem become mine?
People are responsible for their luck, good or bad. Are we going to enforce a minimum wage in Somalia too?

Flying costs more than high speed rail,
Peter P said:
Of course airlines can do anything they want but I get upset when frequent flyers get free upgrades when a first class seat costs so much more to pay for.
I am happy to pay a 30-40% premium for 5 more inches of legroom and 2 more inches of width for my fat ass.

Peter P said:
I love premium seat charges. I do not fly as often as those with status but I am totally willing to pay more for a better seat. Well, perhaps not 200% more for a first-class seat at this time.

Airlines should charge people for carry-on luggage as well. Perhaps $2 per pound.

Not sure about that. At least not always true in Europe.
But I prefer trains over low-cost carriers in Europe. At least trains have a reasonably-priced 1st class.

Absolutely! There should be a global child tax. The proceed will be distributed to the people as dividends.
