that you would actually stoop so low as to sign up for government benefits. Have you no pride?
Paying and complaining will make the beast grow fatter. That is what they want, and apparently that is what you are content with doing. Starving it will take too long. Bleeding it to death will be much faster.
You may be able to retire and “opt out” but most of us are still working toward that goal. I firmly believe that their plan is to keep us working until we drop, and feed the fruits of our labor to the welfare class who will keep them in power. If we stop cooperating, then maybe the people will decide to make work pay again.
