"Social Security to hand out first raises since '09"
This headlines spells it out, and no one can contest it.
People who take out money from Social Security are living off the national dole. Once they put in money, the federal government then augments the handouts with wage-inflation increases, which are self-defeating anyway. The government handing out more money diminishes real wealth every time.
Social Security, welfare recipients, and every other struggling American taking a handout is living off the Government dole, no matter how offensive the implications may be.
Former Senator John Sununu was right, and the rest of the America is wrong if the people think that we are one nation on the dole. Rather than defining ourselves but what we get from the government, when will we proud enough as a people to be defined by our natural rights and individual contributions to our country and our coutrymen?
