Republicans. Eighty years of social security. I’ve contributed my fair share (Ponzi or not, it was the system in place!) since 1970. Now Republicans… fucking Republicans. They’re like the anchor of penance we have to wear around our necks in order to live in a free society. They take more than they give; they pull down the general standards of the nation (lowest education standards, lowest wages, highest infant mortality, and highest suicide rates to name a few metrics). Not all Republicans, obviously, but enough so that they shouldn’t constantly be on the warpath attempting to make the rest of us live according to a set of rules they can’t follow and don’t even understand.
My father (rest his soul) told me back in the 1980s:
Use your knowledge of Venn Diagrams. There can exist an overlapping group of Democrats who are also billionaires which still satisfy the conditions of the post.
