"unfilial, barren, rapacious consumers"

Please explain. Those are some weird adjectives and a strange noun. I would say "greedy, parasitical welfare recipiants of all types, corporate, minority, arts, special needs, etc." Unfilial? Barren? (I guess not having enough kids is a big problem w/ the Ponzi scheme, isn't that why we have virtually unlimited immigration compared to the rest of the world? Rapacious? Well you got that right- Dictionary: 1. taking by force, PLUNDERING. 2.Ravenous: greedy 3. RAPTORIAL

Yes, unfilial.

The most seductive aspect of social security is not that Uncle Sam promises to take care of you in your old age. It is that he promises to take care of your parents. Just one of the many ways in which government undermines and displaces civil society.

Yes, barren.

Declining birth rates are a direct result of redistributionist taxation, particularly the kind that taxes the young to subsidize the old. In order to maintain the social ranking into which they were born despite increasing taxation, the middle class has fewer children. ( Which erodes the future tax base, necessitating tax increases, resulting in fewer middle class children, i.e. a death spiral.)
