“That is the nature of a Republic.”
No. If I vote for a candidate who proclaims that he is pro-abortion, I incur guilt when I vote for him, not for the babies he will kill in the future. Same goes for same-sex marriage proponents, or for any candidate who advertises he will break faith with our founding documents.
“I would happily see the whole damned edifice torn down; pay off the current victims and quit making new ones.”

I paid in the max since 1966 except for the time I was in university, 47 years. I will never get back what I paid in using constant dollars with the lowly return one would get on a treasury certificate. If invested in the stock market S&P I would be a millionaire several times over.
I have two friends that started getting checks back every month from that robbery.
