You & your old fart friends retired to early & got to much Social Security & Medicare. You robbed ours. If you had any decency you would pay us back.
Or ... maybe it was a president 10 years ago screaming about how we had too much of a budget surplus and we needed to give it back to people.
That money would have come in handy now, don't you think?
Clinton only could claim a budget surplus because he counted the surplus ROBBED from Social Security.. They ALL did it --- that's why both sides are lying about today.
It is NOT redistribution. And you are extremely lazy or intentionally ignorant if you don't know and you don't care what the ORIGINAL INTENT was. I think my respect for my buds on the left just went down in flames..
It was SUPPOSED to be exactly current workers paying benefits to the retired. But in a way where the balance sheet was secured by a promise that current workers would do that and that the GOVT wasn't gonna OVERCHARGE current workers and steal the premiums. How you can TRUST the FEDS after a scam like this -- defies logic..
NOW -- you want to change the plan to sheer unmitigated welfare redistribution. Don't talk to me about the benefits of UNIVERSAL Healthcare if THIS is how you plan to "manage" and monitor these programs..
If you DO change Soc Sec to pure redistribution -- then let me have MOST of the retirement money for my OWN account -- and I'll kick back "something" to make a diff for the truly needy.. But don't continue to take 12+% of wages from the poor and middle class and call it UNIVERSAL...
