Exactly!
No one who has paid into the system is a 'moocher'.
Most people's issue is with indiscriminate breeders who want someone else to be responsible for their spawn, people who go further with screwing the 'system' by having the kids act like they have issues to get even MORE money, a government that helps people who shouldn't even GET money to stick their hand in the cookie jar, and people generally think their owed something because they were born with health issues, physiological issues, had bad parenting......etc.
“No one who has paid into the system is a ‘moocher’.”
Ma’am, everyone who collects today, collects from folks who earn it today (and tomorrow too). That’s just a fact.
The money paid out by folks in the past was squandered and spent by ungrateful benefit collectors and government.
Today your attitude will enslave, starve, and leave penniless an entire generation. They won’t allow it, I guarantee you.
You need to understand that the money you collect is not yours - it belongs to someone else who (for now) willingly allows you to have it.
This is true of every penny of every check written to every person who gets one from the government. No matter why they get it, or how noble or ignoble the cause.
We are broke.

What if you take more out than you put in?
