The social security funds got "stolen" a long time ago. It is just a pyramid scheme, whatever you and your employer paid in FICA taxes was used to pay somebody else's benefits, or some other government expense a long time ago.

That's one reason the government is so willing to let large numbers of foreigners just walk across the US border. They need bodies to pay taxes to keep the pyramid scheme going.

The principles of which you speak
were a promise and a belief in
a country where God has the
ultimate say.
I, and millions of others, rely
on a promise. I paid my dues and
was subject to penalties if I
didn’t.
Billions sent as aid to Iran, Iraq,
Hamas (Palestine), Ukraine,, illegal
immigrants, etc., could easily keep
SS solvent. Don’t blame me for the
greed. I just want to stay warm and
have a full belly after working and
paying my taxes for 50 years. You’re
placing the blame in the wrong
direction my friend.
I’m damned sure I “want what’s coming
to me” for following the rules.
(P.S. I also have two kids. One of
whom served 10 years in the army,
6 of those years in combat zones.
Would you say the same for a veterans’
benefits if the funds were robbed?)
My needs are immediate. I won’t stand
for eating cat food when I was promised
a steak.

I don’t disagree with this at all, I just realize that trusting a promise form a government is unrealistic, and secondly expecting the next generation to pay for a promise made generations back is not right either—there is no good answer here except maybe a lot of politicians lving in poverty stripped of their stolen $

s far as people abandoning their principles—there will be many who will sign away any number of rights for some $-—that wasn’t directed ant anyone in particular, just a take on a large % of our society

Recalling a quote from ~20 years ago...

Claire Wolf; “We’re that awkward stage in the revolution; it’s too late to change the system and it’s too soon to shbot the bass turds.”

Forgive me if the quote is not exact, but it’s close.

IIRC it was from the work 101 things to do before the revolution.
