The thing is you are forced to participate in the system
so I do not blame people who were forced to take some of their paycheck and put it into a system and in return they were told they would get the money when they retired. Heck you can not opt out of it. The congress stole the money and used it for other things and gave it to people who never paid into the system. So I don’t blame those born between those years. As far as “reaping what you sow” for voting either party both of which are dirty should they just not have voted?
No, they should have stopped to think and voted with their consciences instead of playing the games of "oh, so and so can't win...he (or she!) isn't electable!" and "if you don't vote Republican, you're voting Democrat!"
No, you vote for the candidate that best represents your beliefs, regardless of party.
Failure to understand that gets us politicians that feel free to do what they want without repercussion, for you’ll just vote for them anyway.
Me, I think it’s a bad idea to let just anyone vote. The only people that should be able to vote are those with a stake in the game. In other words, taxpayers.
For they actually care about some sort of return for their money.
15% of all the taxpayer federal revenue collected between 1946 and 1964 buys a lot of cake and ice cream
or it would, had it been invested in a trust fund to fund the national pension scheme ... what a novel idea
