"Touch my Social Security and I’ll shank you!"

Citizens can have Social Security if they want it.

Federal Social Security (SS) is based on state powers that Constitution-ignoring FDR stole from the states when he established it, just like Obama did with Obamacare.

"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the congressional record, a clarification about the federal government's constitutionally limited powers by Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker:
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

And given the corrupt federal government's reputation for destroying everything it touches, Social Security needs to be returned to the sovereign states where citizens of a given state will have more control over state people-care programs than they do through the federal government.

In order for the people to start putting the nation back on its constitutional foundations, Democratic and Republican Trump supporters must first do the following. They need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new patriot Congress in November, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term in office, but will also support him in surrendering state powers that the unconstitutionally big federal government has been stealing from the states back to the states.
