They are either so ignorant that they honestly don't know that they're selling America out, that they're being duped by their "leaders" and that they are working at promoting slavery to an all-powerful government OR they are so evil that they know and it is what they want and they don't care how they get it. I suspect the truth is a little bit of both.

I agree. Half of my family votes conservative, half, well, you know. The only thing I can conclude is, they are money-grubbers. And most of them are the so-called "greatest generation". You know, the ones that you ask about what a mess Social Security is, they'll say "Oh don't worry about it, it'll always be there." I, for one, am sick of their "So long suckers, I got mine, make your own way" attitude. And they call me the "Me" generation. Baloney. I've been voting for 25 years and have yet to vote for a tax increase, or other largesse. Don't call me the "Me" generation, go look in the mirror, Mr. and Mrs. AARP.

I assume though that when you retire you will want your SS check just like them? Like you, they had no choice but to "invest" their money in social Security.
