it's a bunch of Liberal BS, because you want to have it both ways. You take pelpoe's money, and then complain when they want some of it back. If you want to call someone a hypocrite, give them the option of joining the program. If they rail against it, but join anyway, that's hypocrisy. I personally think that SS and Medicare are total rip-offs. But the fact that I've been forced to pay into them for decades without the choice of investing that money elsewhere means that when the time comes, I will expect to receive my meager payout. Does that make me a hypocrite???Finally, Fred's If the man is entitled to . . is just a throwaway line. If you really didn't care, why write the post in the first place?
