The SSA act of 1935.

Where in Artice I, or in any article of amendment, was Congress given the authority to implement an intergenerational Ponzi scheme? It's too bad that FDR's court-packing prevented any real review of the SSA, since it is absolutely without constitutional basis and lacks the types of trickeries that were needed to make other less-severe forms of redistribution pass muster.

It doesn't make a difference; it's a moot point. It's the law of the land. Try rolling it back now and see how far you get.

I betcha you'd get nowhere. Real fast. Unfortunately.
