Be a Patriot, enslave yourself
The true nature of collectivism, and the complete failure of the idea behind social security, is encapsulated in this quote:
Want to do something truly patriotic to help preserve the American way of life?
Don’t retire. At least not yet.
[...]
If boomers all turn in their keys at age 55, 62 or 65 and head for the Tuscan hills, that great sucking sound you’ll hear is untold amounts of taxpayer dollars being leached from the economy. That is money heirs will have to replace or do without.
It’s an act Yarrow calls “profoundly selfish and unpatriotic.”
According to this authoritarian clown being patriot is to keep working and paying taxes to serve the need of other people instead of retiring at the age you gathered enough saving to stop working. I on the other hand believe that in order for people to demonstrate real American patriotism they need to be much more Selfish. They should stop funding the entitlement that might force them to delay they retirement and they need not to listen to people that want to enslave to the needs of other.
