Even FReepers demand the Welfare State to take care of us.
I've argued with several FReepers that we should get rid of Social Security.
Obviously, that was not acceptable.
We should do a poll and I bet that at least 50% FReepers will vote in favor to maintain Social Security.
So we are not serious about it.
I think the reason why people want Social Security to continue is because they put into it. There’s no way they’re gonna stop Social Security and send everybody a big check equal to what they put in. That would bankrupt the country. not that we already are.
