Here's a copy/paste of my response to your other post. SS Ponzi never should have been started in the first place, but since we were forced into it...

"I can agree with you sort of and only part way. It's a mix of a Ponzi scheme and a welfare program. The problem is people like my wife and I (and our respective employers on our behalf) were forced to pay into the scheme (taxed) all of our working lives and we are expecting a ROI (Return On Investment) as if it were an actual investment or savings account. The Ponzi part comes into play when it requires new "investors" to pay into the system to pay off old "investors" who are now collecting because the so-called investment or savings fund has been raided or misspent by politicians since LBJ in the '60s. The welfare (wealth redistribution) part comes into play when people who paid in virtually nothing are receiving full benefits out. The most recent class of these recipients are retired government employees, who are collecting government retirement checks, are now also collecting SS due to a stroke of Biden's pen - a married couple close to me and my wife are now BOTH recipients who never paid in. Politician pen strokes have been raiding the fund for decades. Those of us who were forced to pay in all of our working lives are receiving only a fraction of what we could be getting if the same money were invested in any number of private funds over the decades."

RFK and John Galt are definitely cut from the same cloth. If Ayn Rand wrote Atlas Shrugged today, the basis for the character would be RFK.

We all know how much those liberals love their guns. We should not allow liberals to have guns. We should only give guns to people who won't use them.

Socialist Security is alive and well and will likely be the thing that causes the financial downfall of this country. It is the biggest welfare program in the history of the world.

Get rid of Socialist Security too. It is the biggest welfare program in the history of the world, and Republicans are too afraid to go near that one.

I was working at an Alabama state prison (even back then me dino almost never called that place a correctional facility like I was PR supposed to).
My guess is that freshly arrested (as clothed) tranny was being transported from one county to another county where some law or laws were being enforced.
Make no mistake that I DO agree he was a walking violation of the laws of nature.

That would be awesome! We could drive to without crossing that political shit show! I would buy property there, after they lifted the insane gun control rules.

Now THAT is very LOGICAL !

It's looking like some of the Canadian provinces, especially Alberta, want to leave Canada and possibly join the US. According to reports I've seen it's a strong movement, but not yet strong enough. If Ottawa keeps slapping around the citizenry, the movement may get a lot stronger. Keeping America free is the first step for Americans at this point.

Sad but true, FFA!

Chris Plante has been saying on his radio broadcast, "No Democrat should be allowed to own guns." The thinking is conservatives defend the 2nd amendment since guns can be used for personal protection (crime prevention), sport (target), and hunting because that's what they use them for. Democrats want to get rid of the 2nd amendment since guns can be used for crime and murder because that's what they use them for. Therefore, Democrats should not be allowed to own guns.

We earned them tickets!
Son, you are a walking violation of the laws of nature, but we don't enforce those laws.

This whole healthcare mess is getting worse by the minute. My wonderful part c/d carrier will no longer cover this area and I need to find a new carrier by the end of the year. If parts c and d are actually being covered by Medicare/Medicaid, why are independent companies needed to administer them. Is this circle#@$& being done deliberately to enrich more campaign donors and reward cronies,? There is only one way to fix it, thank you ffa. NIFO DC et al.

Yes to all :) dear Carl. Wonderful net full of goodies once more! Thanks for the laughs, very needed right now.

We really should just do 1812 over, and fix the thing

Way better than flipping burgers, and you might even teach someone about individual responsibility along the way.

Oh, I forgot... I used to write (and do on Quora) Freedom = Responsibility. I stand by this. You can NOT properly exercise freedom if other people are responsible (I did not say they wouldn't voluntarily). I stand by this. If you want to buy/do shit (including education, tattoos and piercings), then YOU are responsible for the outcome. You can be an adult, or you can be a child. You CAN NOT be both!!!!!! This is so simple, but the Progressive idiots want it both ways, just like my kids did when they were 9-15.

You caused me to laugh. Thanks.
Methinks dem dim Dems can be as screwed in the head as trans people, who can really look repulsive.
As far as me dino is concerned, both amounts to a 10-73 , which is the cop ten code for a "mental subject."

Don't forget, "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"!
During a 2010 speech, then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said, "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it, away from the fog of the controversy"
What a self-serving, irresponsible, arrogant (expletive deleted) bunch of little (expletive deleted) (expletive deleted)'s they are.
I made a mistake a couple of times in my youth, but I, for one, will never vote for a (expletive deleted) Democrat again.

For a long time, it's been difficult to distinguish the Demoblicans from the Republicrats, although both groups seem to have a disdain for MAGA Republicans, who in some areas seem to think more like Libertarians.

My wife, a nurse, went nuts a couple of years ago when I stuck a DNR (Department of Natural Resources) sticker on the back of my Jeep.
A little later on, I ran into the local game warden at a gas station and had to question him about the same stickers, all over his truck and boat ;^)

We should Declare: Trans people cannot own guns.

Watch how fast the Dems Start Defending Gun Ownership!

My (and only my) opinion, save the burger joint job for a teenager that needs it.

High School Coach sounds the most "impactful" towards youth, and more outside time. Less Stress.

The rental cleanup stuff is a no-brainer, and partially handles your own self-interest.

Good for you. You are probably long past "having to work for food!", so do what you enjoy!

I don't need insurance. I have a DNR!

Abaco, go for what makes you happy.
After all, the pursuit of happiness is supposed to be an American thing.
