Related: About this forumThom Hartmann: The World's Richest Man doesn't Want you to Retire
David Selig, Federal Tax Practitioner, joins Thom Hartmann. The world's richest man - a man who doesn't have to worry about working or having a job - thinks you should have to work until you're 70. Don't hard-working Americans deserve to have their retirement years - without billionaires telling them what they can and can't do? With the New Deal, the economic elite made a deal with working Americans that their basic needs would be met with a social safety net. But today - the elites are shredding that deal, and trying to bring feudalism back to America.

People need to work until they are 70 or 80. Did these guys pass a memo around?

(47,675 posts)4. I'll give Selig credit for appearing on Hartmann and they appear to be friends, HOWEVER,...
... all he did was repeat the same silly bullshit that every other wingnut spews. And why is it that the wingnuts all sound like Fred Flintstone on acid, have no necks, and talk over everyone they're having a "conversation" with? You would think they should have figured out they look like morons when they do that.
