Technically they forced all of us into a "retirement plan" called Social Security.
The scheme was that people would start getting it at 65. And most people didn't live much past that age. So they paid in more than they ever got back.
But now...the govt. dipped it's greedy hands into the pot and spent the money coming in (they never made the "lock box" for Social Security that Al Gore wanted), and people are living a LOT longer.
The govt. never was meant to "help seniors". That is fucking WELFARE.
What FDR set up was "social security" to ensure that we all had money saved for us by the govt. for out retirement. It isn't supposed to be "helping seniors" (welfare/entitlement)...it's SUPPOSED to be our own money coming back to us.
Of course these days in Washington they don't think of ANY money as belonging to the people who actually earned it.
I heard an ad on the radio the other day with the President criticizing Romney for wanting to "pay off" millionaires with tax breaks.
Only Washington D.C. logic could ever think that a person keeping the money they earned is the govt. "paying them off".
I've also heard tax breaks referred to as "Govt. spending"
WTF?!?!?!
So every penny that I earned and get to keep is considered govt. "spending" because they didn't get to get their thieving hands on it? lol
