Another idea for a fix: anybody who receives money for welfare in any form (to include social security), is welcome to as much as they can get; but, they forfeit their right to vote.
That would help preserve democracy as a stable system.
Only taxpayers can vote; and those who accept the dole, lose their ability to vote themselves more money.
Not perfect, but stable; and protective of the middle class.
Social Security is not welfare in case you didn’t know. Its a mandatory pay in taken out of your paycheck for the 40 plus years you work as is medicare. When you retire you are entitled to it.
We now have a democracy. And, that’s a big problem.
I like it, CondorFlight.
So you think a great answer to the SS problem would be to take the vote from disabled veterans who can no longer defend you even though they and their employers paid into the system in many cases for eons.
