“Social Security” is thievery and fraud, invented by a fascist democRAT.

Promising to continue committing thievery and fraud is the height of dishonorable behavior.

The HONORABLE thing to do is get government OUT of the business of providing retirement income.

You know this, I know this, we all know this.

The first question is “which politician or group thereof is man enough to do it?” The second question is “are Americans really interested in being free, or are they content to be wards of the State in their old age?”

Social Security came about after the banks went bust in early 1933 and the stock market sank after 1929.

FDR had lots of older people working to earn the relatively small amount of money they needed and lots of younger folks not working at all.

A young man in the 1930s was happy to finally get a job an older person no longer needed even if it required about a buck taken out of each paycheck.

Today Ma & Pa Altvolk might get $2000/month in Social Security and their children might be paying $1500/month in FICA and SE tax.
