as a teenager i easily understood that the theft of a large portion of my paycheck was a david copperfield sleight of hand...

if the general population cant accept that they dont have a dime of money with their name on it, we will continue down the road with the lie...

To keep us in-line we were told FICA was a sort of pension, not welfare. But it's some conservatives now making the argument now that SS is just another government program (prompted by some in the MSM and some Democrats ironically) running up deficits and it's liberal Democrats that are defending it as a sort of pension and fully funded trust fund. But they don't mind it as just another excuse to raise taxes on ‘the rich’.

But no-one in power wants to speak the truth about the non-existent trust fund. Not even the elected ‘conservatives’. It is frustrating.
