The things you don’t know if you don’t look. I’ll bet you didn’t know that the single biggest creditor of the US debt is none other than the Social Security Trust Fund. The number is actually stunning when you look at it.
The program’s retirement and disability trust funds together held more than $2.9 trillion in special non-traded Treasury securities, or 13.3% of the total debt. as of Jul 24, 2019. The trust fund is relies on payroll deductions that come directly out of citizens pockets.. It’s not an entitlement, it’s your money. What makes this so egregious is that they keep telling you that social security is unsustainable at the same time they cut taxes for big corporations and the super rich. If one were honest you could call this the long con.
Mitch McConnell continues to feed the public the line that Joe Bidens agenda is borderline socialism. A plan to put people to work and create economic stability in the largest segment of the populace is socialistic. SIGN ME UP FOR THAT. It’s long past time that US citizens get over this irrational fear of the word socialism. Equating socialism with communism is ignorance. We already practice socialism when we allocate tax payers dollars to private enterprise projects.
It’s your money make them spend it on you. Amazon, Federal Express, and a cornucopia of other businesses don’t need special tax loopholes. They’re doing just fine.
Jeff Bezos added more than 74 billion to his net wealth in 2020. That’s beyond obscene. When one person can accumulated obscene wealth while we argue about the efficacy of a living wage for everyone we know that society is out of balance.
Time to change the game. Get their hand out of your cookie jar. Practice the principle that to whom much is given much is expected. Stop buying into the socialism boogeyman myth.
