All you have is now
Social security is not a socialist thing...If you don't contribute you get nada unless the person that contributed ...if either your parent ( if your under 18 ) or your spouse passes away... Then the spouse can collect when they are of receiving age or under 18 kids can get a support check... It's damn clear cut and it is what is...it has been managed poorly and it is in dire need of reform or it is going to go bust..Of which I at 67 am holding off receiving so that if I die my wife will get a bigger monthly check than if I started collecting last year...I'm going to wait to at least 70...If I make it that long... Hopefully she will get what I am truly due and not what they have to adjust it to because of their poor management.
Healthcare should not be free as without the carrott of "profit" dangled in front of the system there is no motivation to innovate or try hard...just do my job and take my paycheck... promoting mediocrity in an area where that is a dismal thing to have happen.
Welfare...hell no...Workfare hell yes.. There is no such thing as a free lunch in nature and there should not be be in our civilized world.... Certainly there are a minuscule amount of people ( less than .05%) that truly can't contribute because of health issues that need the "free lunch" and I'm OK with that...The rest...sorr...y off yer asses and come on down to the work center and we'll put you to work for a sustenance amount of pay...enough to let you live but also small enough to make you try and figure out how to get a better paying job.
I despise how much fraud is allowed to take place with EBT cards and workmen's compensation..I know a dude who is a drummer...His Dad left him a million dollar estate ...he hasn't worked in 10 years because he "hurt his back" ...he started collecting permanent workers comp...funny somehow he can go out and gig on the drums and load them up all by himself...still collecting that check...another guitarist living at his Dads house for free he has more toys, guitars and guns than almost anyone I know...permanent workers comp...yeah his back really is messed up but he could be put to work behind a desk ...I've seem him jam for hours no problem...These are just two of millions of people out there who should be put to work for the money they are receiving even if it's just answering phones..If they have to go to work everyday for that measley monthly check they'd for sure give it up and get better paying jobs but nope they and millions just like them are riding the socialist gravy train...because it fosters this kind of lazy ass mooching..
nail in coffin of my argument.... I'm sitting in a grocery store in line and here's this woman with a few kids loading up on food...paid for with the EBT card...and a second bunch of items like booze and cigarettes that she pays for with her money...They walk out and as I walk out I watch she and her husband loading their brand new $60,000+ Yukon with custom 22" wheels ...WTF! I'm driving a 12 year old vehicle and paying my way they are living in style on the working classes dime...Absolutely there are many families that need that card...They surely didn't.... and there are millions just like them...The system is screwed up and the solution is to make those that don't have and need helping hand suit up and show up to some kind of a job 5 days a week / 40 hours a week...unless they truly are incapable of it...not a note from some doctor but like when you go to enlist in the army...You want to enlist in the workfare program to get a a sustenance check you get checked out by a government doctor who deems you are either capable or not capable of working / not working and qualifying for a workfare check.... Having to show up and suit up 40 hours a week for a tiny sustenance check would eliminate 90% of this ridiculous systemic fraud that is currently happening.
By nature most humans take the path of least resistance....who wouldn't love to be able to just sit at home and play music , surf the internet, watch TV and have a check come each month and have my food and bills paid for ...
We gotta make the people getting the handouts accountable ..... and that is absolutely not being done currently....OK end of rant
