Apparently SecondAmendment has not read his Constitution.
The Takings Clause says property taken must be reimbursed by the Government.
Welfare is no such takings.
One is voluntary. One is coerced.
Takings applies to coerced.
Social Security myths abound.
There have been a couple of USSC rulings that say you have no property rights in your social security. If you did you could include in it your assets and pass it to your offspring. Its an income transfer tax to move money from the current working generation to the current retired generation. When the current working generation retires the next working generation funds them. When there are more working then retired you have “surplus”. (Money is dumped into he SS bucket faster then hole at the bottom paying out!) For example in 1940 it was like 15 workers to one retiree, now its roughly 3 workers to one retire. What happens when it hits one-to-one?
I guess not, since I cannot find the enumerated power that authorizes Social Security, can you point it out for me ?
