Also, we’re now calling everyone on SS a ‘taker’, despite what they’ve put into the system?
Tons of people on SS disability abusing the sysetem, as well as people collecting who never contributed a dime. So yes, you’ve contributed, but many have not.
“Also, we’re now calling everyone on SS a ‘taker’, despite what they’ve put into the system?”
There lies the brainwashing: “Pay into it, collect back, you’ve ‘earned’ it.”
The fact is, you will always take more than you put in.
Calling them an epitat may reasonably be taken exception to, and one can argue that they have justification for their place, but at this moment, they are part of that category of taking which must be supported by a worker/producer. As the ratios continue to shift, it becomes more and more unsustainable.
