Billionaires are so few they are not depleting Social Security. Not even a drop in the bucket.Vegas » Today, 9:28 am » wrote: ↑ Yes, and morality says you are correct. Regretfully, morality and sustaining money do not always match. A depleted fund is a depleted fund. Regardless of what morality says. That means that people who did indeed pay into will not get their money either. This shouldn't be different than how we view welfare in the states. We all pay into that, but not everybody gets a return on it. Only those who qualify.
Once you open the door for "others" i.e. liberal elites, to decide who gets money from social security and who doesn't, regardless of what was paid in, you have just turned it into a discretionary slush fund again, and not a true pension-type fund.
Think abut this for a moment. What if you work for a company for 30 years, are entitled to a pension, but bought some Nvidia Stock (or Bitcoin) 15 years ago and got wealthy. Would it be right for that Pension to look and see what you've got before deciding to pay you what they promised to pay you all those years you were working?
