Half of U.S. Lives in Household Getting Benefits. Incredible. Even more incredible are all the defensive comments from people drawing Social Security payments, usually on the lame pretext that this is "their" money coming back to them. Newsflash: Social Security taxes are not deposited into any sort of fund to grow and be returned to you upon retirement.
Rather, the federal government immediately uses that money to pay current
Social Security recipients and to fund its many other unconstitutional
programs. It is just another tax, and Social Security is just another program robbing Peter to pay Paul. Even if the taxes had been placed into a trust fund to grow,
it reflects poorly on the American people when they prefer to surrender
their liberty rather than rely on themselves, their family, or their
friends to prepare for retirement in a voluntary and responsible manner. It reflects even worse on those Americans who object to Social Security but still feel entitled to take it because they were forced to pay in, as if a second crime could purge the first.
What a deluded and degraded bunch we have become. The people who fought to secure our independence would weep.
