In the same vein, when some of you reach retirement age - I think you should be told how you can spend your retirement dollars. Makes sense to me, since some of you want to control how others live.

No. It is vastly different. I have earned my retirement dollars. I have worked full time, so far, for 39 years. Including raising my two children as a single parent for 15 years, with minimal child support. And it will likely be another 10 years before I can retire, and then will not have enough money to afford all the goodies that many of the EBT and welfare takers seem to enjoy.

I don’t want to “control how others live” as you have indicated. If they earn their own money, they can damn well buy all the steak and lobster they can afford.

If they are getting money due to my working hard for all of these years, paying thousands upon thousands of dollars in taxes (which I could have saved for my own retirement or used to have my own steak and lobster all these years), then I do have a right to be ticked off about the abuses of the system and the abuses built into the system, presumably so those who choose not to work “don’t have to suffer”. Well, then, who suffers?
