2. You are entitled to collect from later generations of workers.
Edited on Sun Sep-18-11 06:15 PM by dkf
As your grandparents and parents were entitled to collect funds from you.

That is the social contract that enables the funding of our social programs.

The question is if we've already spent the next generation into oblivion or not with our deficit plus our medical care plus our retirement.

Good luck to us collecting all that.


And if the government can't collect it, they will print it, which will depress the value of the funds meant to keep you afloat.
