“They won’t. Even so-called “conservatives” on a supposedly “conservative” discussion forum are addicted to Big Government.”
Agree, I tested the conservatives here a while ago by suggesting that Social Security and Medicare be treated just like any other welfare program, in part because their ‘lock-boxes’ don’t exist - they are just taxation schemes and have been for decades.
And thus by being welfare, government would FIRST look for relatives and make them pay for their elders - so the poor parents of a DNC lobbyist would get their SS/Medicare paid by their kid-lobbyist, etc. For the ones with no children, or poor children, the government would help out to the extended needed to keep the old people from having to live on the streets.
I got blasted here. People are brainwashed to think that they’re entitled to earnings of others, strangers, to pay for their SS/Medicare, even if their kids are loaded. There’s no hope.
That would have worked maybe decades before we were all born, but not at all today with all the grievance politics, and racial tensions with mass immigration, the ACLU and other subversive groups. They wouldn’t dare uphold those kinds of standards on minorities.
