You're taking your resentment of others having stolen from you to justify stealing as much from me as you can get away with.Libertarian666 wrote:I'm not sure why it would be ironic. I have been forced to pay into the SS pyramid scheme for my whole life; if I had my "contributions" and my employer "contributions", I could have bought a real annuity that would pay about the same amount per year.

That's not very libertarian of you, tech. Sure sounds like you're advocating the use of force to have me pay you for what you had stolen from you.
I'm afraid this loses you another 1,000 liberty points.
And if I ever see a picture of you holding a poster saying "GOVERNMENT, GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE," I might have to deduct you 10,000 points.
I kid.
