[Jacquerie]

I can't entirely answer your question but I remember from “The Forgotten Man” by Amity Shlaes that Social Security was sold to the Supreme Court as just a tax on income, not a transfer of $ from one citizen to another.

The President and members of Congress used to seriously take their oaths to support and defend, . . . for they are just as responsible to do so as any court. With socialists running both the executive and Congress and at least four of them on the Supreme Court, it doesn't bode well for the republic.

...a transfer of $ for one citizen to another.

What they want to do is to transfer money from citizens (seniors on Medicare) to illegal aliens. The latter will be a more reliable Democrat voting bloc.
