It doesn't matter if they had the right to take money from us, the fact is they have and still coninue to. For those of us who would rather take that money and invest in a better retirement situation we are denied that opportunity so the government can keep its promises.
Anybody who says government had the right to take this money (and yes there is a Supreme Court Decision to that effect) is wrong or lying or both. There is no Constitutional authority for any of the socialistic programs. None!
