What is it think you paid into? Your money was taken from you and given to others. Now money is being taken from others and being given to you. Or are you touting the I was told and sold and robbed and they spent it there is plenty of it if it isnt wasted so I now have a right to it? Guess what Dreamers were promised, students loans are being promised forgiveness, many other workers have had promises made all by the same polticians and governemt hacks that you will probably tell me is why you believe there is a system that you paid into. Are we going to keep those promises as well?

If you’re too dim to grasp the concept, just say so.
