I am with you! And...No! You are not a hypocrite.

If you call it "criticism" to point out that you are not entitled to anything, regardless of what you paid in, then, yes, I criticized you. Not for asking for the money, but for suggesting that you were deserving of it.

Did I misunderstand you? Or do you claim that you deserve a refund of money that the government spent years ago?

If you were to get a refund today the money would have to be borrowed and paid back by future generations.

I would even support having the government print money for the purpose of buying off future recipients at a heavily discounted rate. I'm not sure what the discount would have to be in order to help shut down the system but it might be something like ten cents on the dollar or less.

I want what I paid into the system.

Yet, you were so eager to get yours you rushed to cash in early, so that you would be assured of getting yours.

I just want what you wanted — and got. I paid into it, and I want what I paid into it. You paid into it, and you wanted whst you paid into it.

So, it’s okay for you, bnut not for me?

Does the phrase “Paris, 1794” mean anything to you?

ought-six said: "I want what I paid into the system."

I understand that. I want what I paid in also.

But I am not entitled to ANYTHING. The money I paid in was spent long ago and was replaced by promises by the government to pay in the future. The whole system was a fraud from its first day and I hope it crashes sooner rather than later.

Based on the fraudulent nature of this coercive government theft I feel no obligation to sacrifice anything further on behalf of anyone else.

“Based on the fraudulent nature of this coercive government theft I feel no obligation to sacrifice anything further on behalf of anyone else.”

Well, I agree with you on that.
