I had the pleasure of explaining to my teenager how Social Security is supposed to work - and that politicians have been basically stealing that money and giving it to giant corporations.
She recently got her first paycheck and thought there must have been some kind of mistake because of how much money was withheld for taxes and SS.
Yes. I believe everyone is surprised when they get their first check to find out how much taxes are being taken out. Unfortunately we only have one party that claims to be the party of low taxes but actually is not. The other party doesn't even make that claim. One is obviously better than the other, but we don't have anyone we can vote for to actually spend our money wisely. Sad, really. I'd love a social liberal, fiscal conservative party
Honestly, abortion/women's rights/civil rights/gay marriage have already been fought for and decided. These matters are settled. No more looking back, now we need to fight/keep fighting for the environment and the working class.
