Are there any reliable figures on the number of black people on disability? Especially young people? That would be a very interesting thing to know.

I’m starting mine at 62. I have no faith that it’ll be around if I hold out longer.

“The country has a moral obligation...”

From what divine decree does this moral obligation stem? I am only obliged by the fact that if I do not pay the SS tax men with guns will eventually put me in jail. And that is what SS is a legal armed robbery.

It forcibly takes from today’s tax slave and gives it to today’s recipient’s. It causes middle class government dependency and purchases votes for the Socialist’s agenda. It the most successful government program to date.

Obamacare will soon be the next most successful.

Basic morality: follow the law and try to do what one (through their elected representatives) has agreed to do.

So basic morality is doing what your elected leader tells you to do? So if tomorrow your dear leader votes to eliminate Social Security it will be morally correct?
