Social Security is a hot topic these days, especially because during the election, Democrats loved telling people Republicans (especially TRUMP) will end Social Security leaving OLD PEOPLE TO DIE but the reality is ... Social Security in its current state is a hot mess that is doing far more damage than good.
True story.
And even if we don't end it we must reform it.
Hey, don't take our word for it, listen to Senator Mike Lee who is far smarter on this topic:
He's right.
Buckle up.
He's right, this sounds awesome. Pay into our system and we'll take care of you when you're old.
But this is the government we're talking about here ...
Ya' don't say.
A. TAX.
There's the key part, available to be used as Congress may direct.
Another tax.
Progressives.
Yay.
Here's where it gets really infuriating:
It's basically a giant slush fund.
Ukraine? DEI? Ahem.
Congress doesn't have a revenue problem.
Congress has a spending problem.
But we digress.
You basically lose money.
Wheeeee.
Literally ANYTHING else.
There's that annoying word again.
TAX.
No way those of us born after 1970 ever see a penny.
Government dependency in general is the worst.
You. Control. Nothing.
It's the government's way.
Grrrr.
It is, after all, the government.
And they still want MORE from us.
Bingo.
It's robbing Americans to pay for pet projects.
We said what we said.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.
In this case knowledge truly is power.
... yet another reason why America's century-long era of progressive government must be brought to a close.
No joke.
