This is why I can’t stand groups like the AARP and politicians who say we need a “bipartisan” solution to this problem. You can’t have political solutions to economic problems. They never work.
And we can’t keep up the deficit spending either. If something is so important that money must be spent, then the tax revenue should be there to cover it.
Mark Steyn said with great wisdom once that as taxpayers relinquish more and more of the duties of manhood to the state, they lose the very manhood they think they have. Caring for offspring replaced by welfare. Education through college. Health care for your family. Retirement for your parents, and you, when elderly.
And now this. Germans have nothing left to give to national defense. Well of course. They've been pussified by letting the state act like a real man, and their tax burden is already too high because of Government benefits.
Rather their intention is to weaken the pocketbooks of the population so that more people are dependent upon the entitlements.
The more people dependent on their entitlements, the easier it is to maintain political power and move towards a marxist nation.
"Dear Govt, keep your hands out of the Social Security pot! NOW!"
I'm tired of hearing how broke the SS system is going to be when NO ONE will make the government put Social Security under lock and key. They skim off the top whenever they need money for something else.
It is a "savings plan" that the govt (Dems) told the American people they NEEDED cause they did not know how to save. Admit it is a failure and let the American people either learn how to save or drown! Shift from a liberal mind-set to a conservative, self-supporting one for godsakes. It'll be our own fault for allowing ELECTED officials take us down.
“we can’t tax our way out of the entitlement crisis....”
the objective of liberal politics is to destroy capitalism so that “benevolent” marxism can save society.
