Why shouldn't I? I was forced to pay into it my entire life. And whites don't collect on those programs any more than blacks or other minority groups.
first, as I said, you will probably collect more than you ever pay in. If you live to be 72, you are getting more back than you paid in.
And, yes, most of those payments are going to White People. That's why no one complains about it.
Stupid? Interesting statistic. Did you know you are 90% less likely to be killed in a car crash than those who own a car?
Here's the problem with that analogy. I get a practical use out of the car. It gets me to work, to other places I need to be. Life would be a lot more difficult without a car, and my earning potential would be less.
Conversely, you could confiscate every gun in America, and we'd probably be better off. They provide absolutely no benefit at all.
Which at the time, was still a better place than any other in the world. Now we are 20 trillion in debt (half of it thanks to DumBama) and if something doesn't get done, will be heading for default.
No, we just make the rich pay their fair share, and we are fine.
Bring back top marginal rates and estate taxes, we'd get that stuff paid off in a decade. in fact, had we stuck with Bill Clinton's policies, we'd have wiped out the debt by now.
But to the point, you wouldn't have lasted 10 minutes in 1920's America.
Yep, that's what DumBama will be known for: working with the Republicans. You know, he had a pen and he had a cell phone; Republicans can come along for the ride, but they will have to sit in the back seat.
Actually, what he did was try his best to get them to sign on to ACA or the stimulus by including goodies they wanted like Tax cuts. this is just plain stupid, because it never works.
