As usual, you are mistaken.It's also the one New Deal, FDR program that the former Rush Limbaugh fans don't complain about.
Think of the joy you'd feel if millions of old folks lost all their income and medical coverage! Would be a conservative utopia seeing all that suffering, all deserved for relying on government right?As usual, you are mistaken.
While it may indeed be true that Social Security was one of the 15 New Deal programs the Democrat-controlled Congress passed that FDR wanted, like 11 of those 15 New Deal programs the Supreme Court tossed for violating the US Constitution, Social Security falls under that same problem. It not only is an illegal Ponzi scheme if it were conducted by the private sector (just ask Bernie Madoff), it is also not within the federal government's constitutional authority.
The only reason Social Security was not overturned by the Supreme Court in 1937 was because FDR began replacing all nine members of the Supreme Court between 1937 and 1943. Which put the Supreme Court under significant duress to agree to every demand made by a fascist President. No Supreme Court decision between 1937 and 1945 (the year of FDR's death) can be considered valid.
I know a few would be genuinely delighted. They'd blame the income less pensioners for not being "personally responsible ".You didn't mention fact eleven. The republicans don't care about facts one through ten and if they had their way, they would be wiped out and ss would be privatized.
What are you talking about? I paid Social Security Taxes for 40 years and I am eligible (I'm 67) to receive Social Security benefits, but I don't. I earned more than enough throughout my working career to be able to retire without receiving illegal benefits from completely corrupt government. I also paid 40 years in illegal MediCare/MedicAid taxes as well, and I will never see any benefit from either program. Just like I pay taxes for public schools, even though I have no children to attend them. That is the nature of taxes, it always requires others to pay and not receive any benefit because taxes is just legalized government theft.Think of the joy you'd feel if millions of old folks lost all their income and medical coverage! Would be a conservative utopia seeing all that suffering, all deserved for relying on government right?
Social security... the most successful policy inhistory.
