How would you suggest that those I described above survive when they cannot work? Just die, right? You’re okay with someone who took a bullet or a bomb for you starving to death because then your tax burden will lighten? Conservatives, my ass.
I’ve always assymed that what motivated most veterans was taking a bullet for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Taking a bullet for freedom.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. Your contributions to SS were taken and spent by politicians. Many seniors are now in the awkward position of arguing that this wrong should be compounded by the wrong of taking an ever growing amount of the labor of younger people who never signed on to the system and were not in a position to oppose it and stop it before it became the growing financial monster it is today.
Do two wrongs make a right?
G*d Save America.
I don’t usually say this, but all three of you are idiots.
Once again, I make the point that the word "contribution" is NOT accurate. The money was seized at the point of a gun, just as any income or property tax. But for some unknown reason you try to foist fault upon SS claimants, but give free rides to welfare queens and other assorted government deadheads. Speaking for myself, I would take a haircut on SS payments, but not without the participation of everyone else who is on the government tit. Why should we take the first bullet?

Excellent summary of the problem.
