More wealth redistribution ideologuery. If the man knew about feeding the needy he wouldn't spout such non-sense. Meals on Wheels has nothing to do with Social Security. Community service, by definition, is local and supported by local businesses and private donors. SS is nothing but an enormous Ponzi scheme that soon will fail unless massive amounts of money are pumped into it. It is consumed by fraud and waste. This is what happens to enormous federal entities. Proponents of single payer HC should sit up and take notice.
Community service isn't subversive it is being phased out by the federal government. Our earnings are increasingly being confiscated and we have less to help our local citizens out. The money is being used to fund politicians pet projects and as bribes to get new colossal spending bills passed. See the New Louisiana Purchase. Mr. Chomsky has it backwards and I think he probably knows it. -Don n Mon, Nov 30, 2009 at 10:20 AM, ornamentalmind <[email protected]> wrote: > Other than the obvious irony, how would you criticize this recent > quote by Noam? > > "Social Security is based on an extremely dangerous principle: that > you should care whether the disabled widow across town has food to > eat.
