“I’ve been paying for that shit for 50 years.”
Many of those years you have been paying for your parents’ SS and Medicare.
What governments basically do is to shift money on an intergenerational as needed basis.
If SS was eliminated, workers would be paying school tuition instead of FICA/SE tax as the old folks couldn’t pay property tax.
Here’s something to chew on according to my MD son-in-law Medicare pays the salaries of all the medical interns nationwide. I find that to be astounding, I’ve never been able to verify it. If so, Here’s another hole punched in the bucket for elder medical expenses.
Moral of the story: Government creates a fund to solve A before you know they’re spe ding that money on B!
