Brandon Lacy asks:
Does anyone here know exactly how hard it is to get welfare in this
town?
Vicky Heller asks:
Does anyone here know exactly how hard it is to earn an honest dollar
in this town?
Dyna Sluyer states:
We do need to maintain enough of a tax base to fund pension benefits
already committed.
Vicky Heller comments:
Most of the private sector people who are expected to PAY these
pension benefits, don't have any benefits for themselves.
The Ponzi Scheme - An Important Concept to Understand
All of the noble efforts to give people what they want fail ultimately
because there is an unlimited demand for free money. When the people who
are "expected" to pay, refuse to pay, or are unable to pay, the whole
fantasy crumbles under its own weight.
This is happening in the stock market.
This will happen with Social Security (see note below.)
This will happen with Medicare/Medicaid.
This will happen with pension plans.

Note about Social Security Payments:
Statistically speaking - The average black American man dies at the age of
67, and during the course of his life earns an average of $35,000 per year.
He pays approximately $180,000 into the SS fund (which doesn't really
exist) and receives NOTHING. One could argue that social security actually
transfers wealth from black men to white women.
