Amazing people can’t understand this.


Oh, they can.

They just refuse to.

SFP is 100% correct. If a guy like that's tax money goes to pay for an anti-poverty government program for someone who doesn't work and is 40, well, that's welfare.

If his tax money goes to pay for a government program for someone who doesn't work and is 68, well, that's THEIR MONEY (always in all caps), with the THEIR referring to the person receiving the anti-poverty government benefits.

It's very obviously not their money and it's very obviously the same thing.

But in this populist age, good luck making someone like the poster above admit that.

No, in this populist age he's being STOLEN FROM.

You guys don't get my position at all. I would gladly give up any return if that meant the end of ss. You cannot and should not expect people who have paid into this their entire lives and are close to retirement age to agree to a sudden change in their terms.
A good indicator that you're on the wrong side of an argument is if you find yourself agreeing with SFP.

You don't understand how SS is financed, or why. Before engaging this, you should make a better effort to understand the topic.
