Why am I angry?

Because my generation has been fleeced by our parents and grandparents. Politicians made a choice before I was born that I would have to bare the burden of heavy taxation for the previous generation’s stupidity.

Social security was formed in the mid 30s in a political attempt to quell the American’s worries about money and the future. Mind you , the 30s saw many communist ideas being brought to the US by Marxist Russians to spread communisim to a new country. Many Poor Americans felt like they could relate to the message of communism , that is “Making All Men Equal” by punishing the wealthy for having money and giving their earned money to everyone else.

Like many ideas thought up by politicans , Social Security was a scam from the start, people would pay part of their paychecks into a government system, which then would “Invest” the money for them, and hold it till they “Retired” (Something that had never existed before SS came into play). Many Americans were sold on the idea with the picture of the first check being handed out to someone who incidentally had never paid a dime into the system.

Believe it or not , Social Security was a scam from the start, the age in which benefits would be paid out to a individual started at 65, while the average lifespan of an American during the 30s was about 59.

Because of the fact that Social Security was at that point, a rare occurance for individuals exceeding the average life expectancy by 10% the government got what it wanted – More Taxes.
