Okay, that shows that you are either:
a) a moron, so it would be cruel to debate with you...'cuz, you know, that whole "picking on the crippled kid" thing.
or
b) deliberately feigning ignorance in the hopes that you can get away with being a dick.
Social Security is (as opposed to a Ponzi scheme) a program by which we, as a society, agree to contribute to the well-being/welfare of our elders. One doesn't 'pay into' the system in the sense of creating an account upon which a future withdrawal may be made. One contributes to that well-being/welfare because it's the right thing to do.Winnie wrote:It's theft, pure and simple.
If you truly believe that (yahweh help you if you do) then you need to provide an example of wealth held by an individual that has been earned independent of the aid of the society/culture that that individual inhabits.
Everything everyone has is dependent on another. To claim 'mine and mine alone!' is to deny one's existence.

Why do I get yearly statements telling me what I will "earn", based on what I have put in?
Why doesn't everyone at age 70 receive exactly the same amount, instead of a sum based on what they put in?
