    I do not believe that your "underlying literature" was "underlying" anything more than some mysonigistic and racist ideologies.

    The only difference with Democrats is they promote different corporate interests. How many billions went to green energy companies run by Obama donaters?

    irrelevant. This doesn't change the fact that soon the gov will get more of my working wages than I do.

    Everyone would benefit from free food and water, free internet, and a free car.

    But I dont want to pay for it, nor do I think government is effective or competent enough to oversee such a program...

    Just like they arent competent to oversee any of dozens of programs that are over budget and crumbling.

    Don't Repubs hate unions? The Repub health care plan is when a person gets sick he should hurry up and die.

    We hate PUBLIC Unions, Private Unions have every right to exist, negotiate, and counter balance management. Public Unions are an abomination.

    ????

    No... I don't want Public Employees to have better pay, benefits, retirement, and security than the private sector. I don't want them negotiating with the Democratic Party as they do here in California, who they donate to in huge volumes. You have Bureaucrat Democrats negotiating with Union Democrats on how much of the tax payer money they are going to take. There is no checks on Public Unions in Blue States. Public Unions have become a total rip off of the tax payer.

    Well, like Thomas Sowell says, "Black families survived hundreds of years of slavery and Jim Crowe, but it only took one generation for "civil rights" to destroy the black family."

    From your standpoint, mission accomplished, huh?? :roll:

    Everyone doesn't contribute to Social Security and if you don't you don't collect, it is a defined benefit program for contributors not an entitlement.

    Why do you think the people who choose to work will want to fund those who choose not to work? We can start that now can I send you all my bills so I can choose not to work?

    We have RECORD tax revenues, it's not a revenue problem it is a spending problem and Trump has proposed budgets to cut spending. That's all he can do, it's up to Congress to pass spending cuts. And excuse me if I am old fashion but I believe children do best in their early years with their parent, why do you think government is a better parent? Mom or Dad can go back to work when the child enters 1st grade.

    Less than 4% of the aged population (62-84yo) are “never-beneficiaries”, that number drops to less than 2% in middle age populations and is almost eliminated in its entirety in younger populations.

    You are technically correct, but it is splitting hairs. Everything else on the list are social programs and the point stands.

    And if you don't pay into it you cannot collect it "everybody" doesn't get to collect just because they are a body. It's a contributor/benefactor retirement system.

    Yes, that is what “never-beneficiaries” mean.
