Well yeah, SURE, visit a college campus and tell a house full of young mushheads that the elderly are stealing their money. Hey, what a great audience to make yourself some publicity.
Try talking to the retired people who paid S.S. all their working lives and see how popular you are, you liberal dirtbag.
Try talking to the retired people who made the magnificent sum of $10,000 or twenty thousand a year for much of their lives and tell them they don’t need Medicare to meet the greatly increased cost of medical care.
I certainly don’t know what the practical answer is to what to do, but I did have this conversation with my mother -
Mom - Social Security is not an entitlement. I have paid into it since I was 14 and at 78, I should get a return on that investment.
Me - I agree Mom, if it were an actual investment. Unfortunately, you were lied to and scammed. Just like Bernie Madoff, you were ripped off. They lied, they forced you to give them your money and then they stole it. You are a victim of theft.
So, if it were actually Bernie that you voluntarily gave retirement money to and he stole it, would you then be entitled to, in turn, steal money from your next door neighbor’s grandchildren, to make up for it?
It is the same thing. We were lied to and our money was stolen. The answer is not to steal from others, because apparently, it is now acceptable to take from others, if I have a good reason.
I would ask those retired people why they kept voting for their politicians, but I'm not looking to be popular.
