Things that made you Facepalm today (Political Version)

[Seran]

I didn’t say a burden to society. I said the further taxation you are suggesting is an unnecessary burden on the most productive successful members of our society. Creating opportunities for upward mobility is much more rewarding than redistributing (AKA stealing) wealth.

You mean the kind of euthanasia that they are doing in leftist controlled Canada right now? I want to see more poor people join the middle class & become more educated, productive, and valuable members of our society. You want to reward stupidity & communism. Our society is not moving that direction despite your hopes that big government actually cares about your well being.

It shouldn’t be a burden on the most productive & successful members of society.

Why yes, yes you did say those who didn't invest in their retirement are a burden to society and your lack of candor or agreement with the rest of society whose existed under the Social Security system for well nigh a century is glaring.

When the majority of Americans lived and worked for an employer and payroll taxes were the norm, Social Security is what helped keep grandma from having to live out of a box and eat catfood. They never expected or anticipated receiving as much as they put in

Now a significant number of Americans are self employed and not paying payroll taxes, are incarcerated, or not part of the working adult population, the idea of a Great Society where grandma shouldn't have to eat catfood hasn't gone away. If anything, the increasing number of self employed individuals who will still likely need Social Security at some point in their lives has drastically increased, but to you they don't deserve a damn thing and should have saved, so must be allowed to starve? No thanks.

No entirely sure where you, seemingly outside of but supporting the 1% who controls the majority of wealth in our country, has decided it's high time everyone pay their fair share in making the wealthy wealthier, but it's moronic.
