> Social security is the same. People say they were forced to pay in and now they want theirs. It doesn’t matter to them that their money was already spent. That they are enslaving those still working by ever increasing amounts to make good on promises those working people never made. And for those who say well the government shouldn’t have spent the money I ask what generation was it exactly that voted in the politicians that did spend it and continued electing them?
That was beautiful, right straight down the line.
“...what generation was it exactly that voted in the politicians that did spend it and continued electing them?”
Yup!
Taxpayers in the US have been stiffed for decades to fund programs which politicians promise and deliver to people who don’t want to work. (We’re NOT talking about necessary programs and benefits for the people who are actually disabled or otherwise unable to take care of themselves.)
I would say to these insatiable and corrupt politicians:
“If you want money for still more exorbitantly expensive, unworkable and unsuccessful ‘programs’, go talk to the people you hired to take my money from me for all these many years. If they don’t have it, then DON’T come back to me demanding MORE money … and calling me greedy and racist if I object!!!”
