perspective.

AARPs attitude is take all you can from the young and give it to the old.

Ya, the old have had 40 years to save their money, give the young a chance
to save theirs.

Well, it involves taking. Remember "thou shalt not steal"?

Thanks,

It's not stealing -- think of it as the "membership dues" for belonging to one
of the best clubhouses in the world -- the U.S.A.

Yes, it's stealing. If you can't recognize this, then you're being a fool.

You need to read this:

To find the difference between government and The Mafia.

(hint: there's essentially no difference.)

Cheers!

I'd accept that it's not quite the same thing as my "membership dues"
analogy, but it's just as ridiculous to suggest taxes are no different
than stealing (in the sense that someone holds a gun to you head and tells
you to hand over your wallet): With a gun to your head, your option is
pretty much "your money or your life,"

No, they don't threaten execution, but they do threaten prison. So it's not
as mean as the mafia at least, but it's still the same operating principle.
And there are few countries which don't charge taxes (and those that don't
aren't any nicer than the mafia!), so you can't really escape the system.

No, they don't literally hold a gun to your head, but they'll empty your
bank account.

Just try it some time - you'll find out!

Good Luck!

isn't some countries considering lowering the age required to vote, to
avoid the possibility
,that with low birth rate and people living to be older and older, the
old and retired could gain
the majority and make the young and working pay more and more to them

A good argument in favor of DNR/DNI orders. (Do Not Resuscitate/ Do Not
Intubate).

If I ever get so feeble that I can't get out of bed to poop, I'm gonna
find a gun and eat the golden bullet.

As far as enforcement goes, OK, but again... the mafia doesn't ask its victims
whether or not they "approve" of their (the mafia's) deciding to get into the
protection racket (or whatever), whereas your government does ask you whether
or not you'd support additional taxes,

When, exactly, has the government ever ASKED if the people want their
taxes raised? Oh, yeah, "elected" "representatives" and all that yadayada;
but if you don't want them raised, tough - "The Majority Rules." Right!
Let's all vote on what everybody's favorite color is!

There were _supposed_ to be checks and balances, but we've now got an
African communist for president, a majority of "liberals" (read:
socialists) in the Congress, and a Supreme Court packed with "Liberals."

And it's going to be A YEAR before the mid-terms - look at the damage the
commissar has done in only six months; how much more damage can he and his
goons do in a WHOLE YEAR?

Thanks,
Rich

AARP's attitude is to play cozy games with the government to benefit
AARP's insurance companies' profits... at the expense of everyone.
