You know I have a little problem with the “got” in regards to programs that working Americans paid into like Social Security and Medicare, people paid into these programs with the promise of return on their investment, it’s not something for free and not their fault the government hijacked the money.

Somebody paid into EBT, Section 8 and crap because they got paid too. People “paid into” every government program.

Sosh Security, Medicare and FICA taxes are simply pieces of legislation passed by Congress. Nothing more, nothing less.

What government giveth,...

Here is the problem with your thinking on this:

“Programs that Americans paid into” are just taxes collected from them.

“Promise of a return on their investment” government is never an “investment”

“it’s not something for free” It is to people who get a check.

“the government hijacked the money” They spent the money - and then some. That’s what “investing” in government does.
