Odd. I would have imagined that you'd instantly understand and admit that All transfer payments are theft. Including Socialist Security.
Its a given. -- We all know that. There is no need to 'admit' it, unless some twit is trying to belabor the point. Please, tell me you understand the above. -- But if you can't, I give up, and you can have the last word of this really amusing exchange.
"You just did, - 'belabor' the point: Odd. I would have imagined that you'd instantly understand and admit that All transfer payments are theft. Including Socialist Security."

Young people are continually coming to free Republic, they are learning, as we are, while we may be becoming bored and frustrated by the things we know and learn here, it is necessary for the discussions to continue, don't you think?
There's the big picture and there's the details, both are pertinent. Excessive exaggeration is the way of today (must have learned it from the news medias),funny how we blend in scarcasm, which minus facial expression, voice tone, and body language is often misinterperted. It more frequently starts a defensive battle than it is true information. Oh well, that is how it is.
We know what we know, and we do not know, what we do not know, sorta like the stock market is ... lots of opinions and most of them have a selfish agenda. We are truly in trouble in the United States. Socialism does not work ... it is there to see around the world, yet we seem to blightly be skipping down the same path. Horrors!
As long as we spend hours with our schools teaching it to the students, having the T V programs of every sort demonstrating it, the news medias preaching it and the "bad news" of the day filtered through it's skewed view, ridiculing clear reason, we don't have a snowballs chance in hell of turning around on the path we are on now.
Sad! History has repeatedly demonstrated that change is constant. When societies reached peaks of knowledge and quality of life ... what do they do then ... gradually start screwing it up.
We are on the the roller coaster ... and it is careening down ... hopefully it is one of the lesser falls ...; however, let's teach our children and grandchildren what we can, while we can. MO
