Hi Stanley!
Ah, sweeping generalization accompanied by a jump to a conclusion! Yes,
some are "undeserving" BUT some are disabled, aged or just victims of
the "world economy". Why do some of us feel such a need to lump them all
together? You need to work a couple of years as a social worker to get
the broad picture.

We have tried. What resulted from our trying is the present system. The
lawmakers "stole" it. Why won't the private sector managers steal it as
well? No matter how we do it, the retirement of the aged will always
fall upon the people who are working while the retirees are retired. The
next generation will have a lot of retirees to each worker. The culprit
is as much Roe vs. Wade as it is the depleted trust fund, which will
always be depleted no matter how it is administered. That much money
will always be borrowed, stolen, dissipated by inflation, whatever.

Same as welfare. Yes, some are lazy, others have been hit with some sort
of disaster and legitimately need help. Why is it so hard for the
greatest country in the world to be generous?
