We live in a nation that does not understand the way that finance and economics work. Most people do not save for the future because they have put their full faith and trust in the U.S. Government. They look to the government to provide for them in their golden years. They have bought into the Ponzi scheme that the government has foisted upon it’s citizens. Most people do not understand the way that Social Security, Disability, and Medicare work. All they know is that they were forced to pay into the system and they are entitled to be paid more than they contributed.
The way that these systems work is that the productive have to pay into the system to pay for the unproductive. The unproductive are very demanding and will vote to keep this system in force. They are in favor of the unearned. This mentality is characterized that these individuals do not want to go out and compete. They want everything provided for them with no effort on their part. On what legal basis does anyone have to money that I have earned? It is unlawful for anyone to have access to money I have earned.
Anyone that is on Social Security, Disability, or Medicare are already receiving government money without doing anything to earn it. These government benefits are given based solely on age or supposedly not being able to work. These government benefits are not given out because the individual has earned them. There is no effort expended by the recipient of these benefits. These benefits are therefore unearned.
The Frugal Accountant believes in earning his way in life. He is forced to pay into Social Security and Medicare against his will. He does not believe that his neighbor has any lawful right to income that he has earned. He believes that each of us must make our own way based upon our abilities, not by age or medical condition. Social Security, Disability, and Medicare is socialism. With this system, we lose our individuality. We become our neighbor’s keeper rather than our neighbor being their own keeper.
There are many in this nation that seek to continue to turn the lawful world upside down. They are illogical to say the least. They seek to play on your emotion to get something that they have not earned. They will make such asinine statements such as people who still work are not the only ones struggling to make it. Just because someone is struggling to make it in the real world does not entitle someone to receive government benefits.
President Bush has proposed again issuing tax rebates to stimulate the economy. The details of this legislation is beyond the scope of this essay. In a letter to the editor, a retired factory worker from Eastman Company wrote in that it is not fair that he is not going to get a tax rebate. He is on disability. I guess he does not realize that he is already receiving government money. He is receiving benefits he has not earned. He wants to get a rebate also.
He thinks that because he paid into the federal tax system when he worked, he is now entitled to receive a tax rebate. Obviously, he thinks that the federal tax is the same as Social Security. He thinks that if you pay federal taxes that you are entitled to federal tax rebates. He does not understand the way the system works. There is nothing wrong with being a factory worker. All honest work is admirable. What is not admirable is wanting a handout.
He says in his letter, "Where is my check? Why will I not see any of it?" All he cares about is getting his share of this payout for which he did not contribute anything. He is already getting a government check for which he has not earned. He gets this check because of a medical condition. You and I have to work to provide for this man and his wife. Part of our earnings are going to pay for his disability and he is not satisfied with this. He wants even more of our earnings.
Fortunately, this man is being shut out. It is about time that the unproductive are not allowed to take from the productive. What is frightening is that people like this man have the right to vote. Who do you think they will vote for? They will always vote for the politician who will promise to stick a gun in the belly of the productive. These individuals want something that they have not earned. Obviously, this man has no pride in himself. If he did, he would not be squawking. When you receive something without earning it, you cannot feel good about yourself.
