They were useful idiots. The real criminals were the politicians who sold our grandchildren into a life of slavery, or serfdom to the state, if you prefer, in order to buy the votes to keep themselves in office. Marxism has always had enormous appeal. Who wouldn't want to get something for noting (or very little)?
I don't know about you but most of America has paid into SS and Medicare their whole lives. They are not what's caused our financial problems, it is our antiquated health care system, all the unfunded wars and imperialistic size military spending that almost equals the rest of the world COMBINED, at the same time we cut taxes for people just because they happen to be rich.
If our debt situation gets bad enough they will stop giving tax breaks to people just because they are rich and stop all the unfunded wars.
