I DGAF if I have a net worth of $50m. That fricking money was earned by me, paid into the system by me, and is MY fricking money.


Why don't you just come out and say that you don't understand how insurance works.

Are we talking about insurance or things like social security?

I'm well aware of how it all works. It's not a matter of mechanics. It's a moral and ethical issue.

The bottom line is that if you're going to take money from me by force - money that I could invest myself and generate a much higher return - with the promise that when I retire, I'll get SS payments, then we're not "means testing" shite. That's my money and I will be taking it.

Deciding that I don't "need" it and redistributing it to someone else is as immoral as it gets.
