That's beyond anti-American!

Then they shouldn't have joined. They knew the risks of going to combat, why do I have to support their decisions to go fight?

This is false. A majority of the disabled have never paid anything into the system.

Every day business will lose mass amounts of money, mass layoffs will ensue, we'll be thrown into a spiral of internal collapse that has never been seen before. You think you'll benefit from this? 55 million pissed off people, out of work, no money to pay for rent, food, etc. Good God, even if only a small % are pissed off enough to fight back, imagine the chaos on the streets. I wish people would think before they speak/type.

They were duped by those they elected. If they didn't pay SS, they'd already have their money and then they wouldn't be pissed off.
