You haven’t paid into shite since you were 14. You paid for the current care of the elderly and infirm.

I apologize that you believed otherwise but you are wrong. Just like you didn’t “pay into” the food stamp fund, you simply paid for food stamps for poor people with the hope that it’ll be there if you ever needed it.

You paid FOR the care of the elderly and infirm since you were 14 with the HOPES that there would be enough young and healthy paying into the system to cover your arse once you need it.


They are one and the same.

Welfare programs.

It’s a sunk cost. You ain’t getting shite back. The only thing there is to do is to kill the program yesterday and let the people keep their money and invest it in their own personal retirement funds

They literally say it is a welfare program in the fricking god damn text of the mother fricking act.
quote:

AN ACT to provide for the general welfare by establishing a system
shite, if that seals the deal, then I guess the Constitution is a welfare check, too.
quote:

Preamble:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare"
quote:

Art. 1, Sec VIII:

"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States"

It’s much worse when you also take into account all of the unfunded liabilities owed to government employees.

I can’t believe you shits don’t realize social security is welfare and always has been

It’s fraud. It’s a Ponzi scheme. You haven’t “paid into” shite. It’s nothing but a massive transfer of wealth from the working to the non working - aka welfare

But but but but I’ve paid “into” it muh whole life so I want my money back plus interest

I want my money back from food stamps, section 8, farm subsidies, buyouts, Medicare, Medicaid, all of the welfare programs INCLUDING social security.

We're laughing at you because you can't differentiate between what could've been a great idea that turned into a PPonzi. SSI was never welfare, it funds all kinds of frick up now, yeah, but that's not how it started.

We'll have to cut social security, Medicare and defense spending, but I agree. People are going to feel some pain.

It has always been welfare.

Take money from healthy working people. Give money to old and infirm for general welfare of the individual.

The young and healthy do this with the expectation once they retire they will receive payments from the young and healthy workers of that day.

Food stamps - taking money from those who make enough money. Give this money to the poor and infirm for food.

Those who make enough money do this with the expectation that if needed, they will receive benefits from the program.

Neither program is voluntary, both are run by the govt.

Both are programs set up to provide WELFARE BENEFITS to those that need it, from those that can provide it, through the government.


Both. Are. Welfare. Programs.

I fail to see how you can’t grasp this.

Has nothing to do with your inability to see that social security is a welfare program where the young and healthy pay for the WELFARE of the elderly, disabled, and survivors.
