Too many people don’t want to give up their “goodies”. They want “goodies” (i.e. money earned by hard work) taken away from others so they can keep getting theirs because, by golly, they deserve it.
And this is exactly why our country will fail...and failure in epic proportions...no one thinks about the kids...

Yea, if half the people on this site feel entitled to STEAL the earnings of my kids and (future) grand kids because they (collectively) REFUSED to tax themselves enough to pay for all the services that they DEMANDED from government, we are indeed doomed.
Because of their DEMANDS for this money, we are going to have a FULL FINANCIAL COLLAPSE (due to debt) and these guys will be in much worse shape than if they had been reasonable.
Specifically, they will still see their precious Social Security get WIPED OUT - this time by inflation, and they will also see their savings get wiped out the same way. Food and energy costs will go through the roof (since the dollar will be practically worthless in the world), and people really will starve here.
...but I guess that outcome is just fine to these people, as long as they can keep getting their precious Social Security checks (for a few more months).
