    Do you not understand how social security is funded? A percentage of wages. Wages have been kept down, which means less goes into the pot.

    This is not complicated math, here. Holy shit. You refuse to even take half a second to even think this through.

        “Basic economics” like Adam Smith?

        “For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many.”

        -Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

        Or would you prefer we quote “advanced economics” like Marx?

        You’re just going to double down on not doing even the most basic math, huh?
