Broken Promise By : TheBrutalTruth (2009-06-11 18:16:30)
So recently I got my Social Security Statement, and on it was text that makes me want to cringe. The government is now billing Social Security as a promise (of perpetual slavery) between generations. I am enslaved for the benefit of the last generation and in return the next generation will be enslaved for my benefit. This is absurd. I do not desire to be a slave, nor the master of slaves. I do not desire to have some one work for my benefit nor do I desire to be forced to work for the benefit of some one else.
The system that Social Security has been reduced to is a system of perpetual slavery. A system that it was not supposed to become. The promise that those that contributed would get their contributions back was broken when Social Security was used to pay for other Social Programs by short-sighted vote-seeking politicians.
Even in its inception Social Security was a failed concept as it ignores individuals and assumes that everyone is equal in their output. The only just form for Social Security to take would be an individual savings account. Though even that is monstrously unjust as by forcing people to save it deprives them of money that they could use to enhance their earning power, and ignores the fact that human beings are capable of making up their own mind.
It is likely that with the extra $2,000 a year that a person making $8/hour would have that they could either receive a better education or make a better life for themselves on a material level. This is especially true when one looks at the cost of attending a community college which is about $1,000/semester.
This money would then circulate through the economy providing more jobs, or enhancing the earning power of individuals through training, and increase in knowledge. This increase in knowledge could then lead to new technologies being developed, or new materials being discovered that would provide enhanced benefits for all of humanity. The idea that government serves to just benefit individuals through social security or any other socialist benefits program is a monstrous injustice that robs people of the capital they could use to develop better methods, materials and technologies.
In short, by attempting to protect society from their own decisions government is depriving society of the creative spark of individuals that are stuck at the bottom. Social Security is nothing more than a program that leads to the increased stratification of society while depriving it of the creative genius that can randomly be found amongst the lower and middle classes.
Forcing a man to save is unjust, and immoral, as it should be up to an individual what they do with the fruit of their sweat and blood, not up to a distant body of imbeciles enshrined in a city that continuously seeks to steal more and more of the produce of the nation for the pretended benefit of the nation.
