It is the middle class entitlements that drain the coffers of the government, and get people dependent on federal ‘aid’.

People deserve from social security what they put into it regardless of how rich they have become. To describe that minimum return of what is actually yours as "federal aid" is wrong.

As for those who say they deserve it because they paid in, well I’m sorry, but like all other ponzi schemes someone gets left holding the bag.

All ponzi schemes aren't forced government ponzi schemes. Again, people deserve the same value out of social security as they put into it. Anything else is just theft and that's what you advocate.

Unless you want the entire economy taken down, which is what we get if we keep waiting to face this unpleasant truth, we have to get on the road to controlling the entitlements and that means Social Security and Medicare.

No, I want them to go into your personal bank account to prevent our economy from being taken down.

The only difference between Social Security and welfare is the means testing of the recipients and flowery BS about there being a lockbox. If you actually believe that Social Security was, is, or ever will be an actual investment, I have a number of bridges to sell you.

Yes, theft from me instead of theft from youth. Brilliant moral ground you’re standing on there.
