Let's just admit that we trusted our government, who sold us a lie, and who now tries to foment us to blame the injustice they caused on each other, instead of on them, where it belongs.
Let's get rid of them, face reality, and try to rebuild our society without the idea that we can use governemnt to take money form each other. We all know this, deep in our hearts, and just because they have whispered the opposite to us for 80 years, is no reason to go on believing it.
“we trusted out government, who sold us a lie.”
It is unfortunate that the Greatest Generation is not better at math. Any small amount of curiosity or investigation would have revealed to this wealthy and sophisticated group that the gravy train can not chug along forever. Instead, as fiercely as some of its members fought the Japanese at Iwo Jima, the Greatest Generation still combats any attempt to raise the retirement age or reform budget-busting Medicare.
