You are 100% correct. Just mention changing Social Security payout schedules on FR and watch the Socialists come out of the woodwork even here.

The government stole my money from me at gunpoint, but promised to repay some of it in the distant future.

Now that the future has arrived and it is time to collect on that promise, they want to default. Is opposition really socialist?

One of the ways they want to change payouts is to add a means test. This is even more socialist than what we had before when there was at least some relationship between pay-in and pay-out. The fact is we already have a means test for SS. Way back when there was no tax on SS payments, now 85% of it is taxed. If that isn't a means test, what is?

I don't think it is particularly socialist to want the payback that was promised when the money was stolen.

You want the government to take care of you. I understand that. Vote Democrat.
