Are you one of those "taxation is theft" types but also would like to have roads, schools, police, courts, jails/prisons and avoid tripping over seniors and disabled folks living on the streets or in your yard?

If I take money from you against your will, what would you call it?

Its a Ponzi scheme. People collecting SS today are living off the taxes confiscated from you and me who are paying into it today. Plus it isnt a voluntary system. You have no choice but to take part in it. You dont get to decide how much you pay in, when you pay it, when you can retire and begin collecting or how much you will receive. So yes, taxes are being stolen from you today to pay for those currently on SS. When you retire, the checks you receive will have been stolen from the next generation.

Yep, current workers are forced to help support current retirees and the disabled. Now try to find a candidate running for the US Senate or House that wants to stop that "theft". Surely, many must agree with you because you are obviously both wise and correct. ;)

If I pay you then you pay me back, what would you call it?
Or better, we pay each other.

You made a few stupid claims so don't be surprised when someone asks a few stupid question in return.

I am wise and correct. That 'congress critters' as you like to call them disagree is just further evidence of that ;)

I would call that very hard for you to do and quite possibly your last stupid act. Taxation differs in that it would not be you trying to take my money, but the government doing so under the rule of law.

I didnt make claims, I stated facts. But I appreciate you acknowledging that your question was stupid. See, there are things we can agree upon.

So you legalize theft so that you can pretend that theft is legal when the state does it, but criminal when you do it.

Yet I bet you pay your taxes without any resistance because you are so wise and correct (or wimpy?) that you simply submit to "theft" while you vote for those same congress critters who refuse to end Social Security. ;)

You're one of the few people I give little regards to but you cannot be serious with this?

I do the same as you, but do not pretend otherwise. I have been collecting Social Security retirement for almost 4 years now and have already received more than I (not counting my employer's matching "contribution") paid into it over about 40 years of working. I will now smile as I think of getting to spend some of your paycheck every month.

Of course I submit. The state has guns. I dont. The state can deprive me of my liberty if I dont submit and my liberty is of greater value than my wealth. That doesnt justify it though.

Not sure why living like a parasite brings a smile to your face but to each his own I guess.

Maybe a nurse will bring you a smile occasionally when you're in a nursing home.

Seriously?! Someone collects on a program they have paid into for 40 years and has also employed others to pay into the same program (and trust me, matching those contributions is a huge drain on the books) and you feel comfortable with "parasite"?

You cant read either. Go reread his last sentence and you might be able to answer your own question

If you are lucky enough to survive until you reach retirement age, or unlucky enough to become disabled, you will likely appreciate that "theft" used to supply you with Social Security benefits.

The successful parasite relies on a submissive host - thank you for your support. ;)
