People receive hundreds of billions of dollars each year in checks from the federal government under social security. People pay hundreds of billions of dollars each year in wage deduction taxes to the federal government under social security. It is a transfer.

The resistence to all of this shown in this thread is utterly absurd. I defend the proposition that the wealthiest society in human history is not bankrupt, and men pretending to be sober conservatives aware of economic principles endlessly attack me over it, because they can't bear to admit it.

This is a sign of a deeply diseased and lying ideology.
