@tkejlboom Hmm.... I don't believe a word of this - no offense. There are a lot of declarations, but no supporting evidence.

Those over 65 (and I am not one of them) have, by-and-large, already worked hard most of their lives. They were *promised* a system which would support them in their retirement - and make no mistake, this system is not sustaining them in their waning years.

In fact, that broken promise actually supports the idea that we need to keep government out of things as much as possible, and rely mostly on ourselves. Had these same people invested their money in retirement funds rather than having the government abscond with this money in a ponzi scheme called "Social Security," they would be in much better shape.

But the fact is that there are many people under 65 who are equally resistant to further government debt, and erosion of our liberties.
