Best Posts in Thread: i hope this is not retrospective

I think this whole thing started with the idea of trying to prevent a cash outflow of taxpayer money. It makes sense and in some ways could be agreed on such as stopping payments considered in a way welfare payments or on the dole. Things like SSI and SSDI in the US that were abused in ways same as other western countries. I think they saw success and it grew from stopping taxpayer money to other countries to stopping anything they could get their hands on like pensions, SS, and so forth and the socialists in our countries are pushing that now often secretly. They also know those old guys won't be around much longer and those overseas often don't vote and when they do often their votes are actually never counted and just dismissed and shredded. As long as they keep giving to the young clueless they will have their indebted voters.
