Social Security is already barely pocket change for most retirees, and people wanna get rid of it entirely? With America's federal minimum wage in 2025 STILL being $7.25 per hour while average corporate profits for US corporations have soared far beyond both GDP and average wage growth, to 133.7% in the past 15 years alone? At this point, why don't billionaires, CEOs, and politicians just massacre us all, outright? It's like they're chomping at the bit to just be given license to chase down and head-hunt poor people in the streets for sport. And, in case Americans forget—or really are just THIS stupid (Who am I kidding? They absolutely ARE...)—ALL of us American taxpayers have ALL been paying into the Social Security pool for as long as we've been employed (unless you had a job before 1953!), and huge cuts of the working poor's wages have been funding it! And NOW they wanna get rid of it entirely? And do WHAT with the money? (Well, we know—it's probably going to be stolen by the [aptly-named] kelptocrats for a mix of funding bombs, aircraft carriers, police militarization, and oil drilling projects, with the remainder going to purchasing gigayachts for our already near-trillionaire owners who've bought up nearly every good, service, and property on Earth.)
