But the thing is it was never set aside. From day one SS was just another income tax and it was paid from the Treasury the same as any other government check or bill.
NO MORE LIES.
Well yes, politicians in their speeches lied, but the actual law was there for any one to read from August 14, 1935 on. There was never any SS fund. No pension account, nothing. Just income taxes in, checks out.
People are angry because they feel duped. But they were only duped because of lack of ambition to read the law for themselves and not just take Cliff notes from politicians.
Most people preferred the lies to the truth anyway. They wanted to believe it was a pension insurance fund set aside just for them.
They didn't want to know it was a welfare check paid out in the same manner as any other government program.
Because if they could convince themselves it wasn't, they could feel like they wouldn't be taking "relief" as it was called in those days.
Then the self-deception was passed down generation to generation until now where it's so deeply ingrained people will get angry if you tell them the truth and will deny it until their dying breath.
In all fairness, they were told it was being invested in Government bonds. What they weren’t told is that they Government bonds than couldn’t be bought or sold.
We know dems and their lies - and this one's a BIG LIE. Right now, liberals are using Social Security to replace welfare in inner cities - they're signing up the usual dependent ones for disability - and creepy liberal lawyers are making a bundle on it. The dependent ones will work for two years and be 'disabled' for the next 60 years. And we'll be paying for it until the system is bankrupt. When there are no funds, those who are faking disabilities will move on to the next scam - and the people who really are disabled will die.
But that doesn't bother a liberal.
They only care about the victim groups who vote for them. The one's they pay off with our money. So we do want the truth - and we want the truth out there. Sadly, the MSM gets their marching orders ( stories fed to them ) from friends on the left side.
