      Do you not understand how social security is funded? A percentage of wages. Wages have been kept down, which means less goes into the pot.

      This is not complicated math, here. Holy shit. You refuse to even take half a second to even think this through.

          “Basic economics” like Adam Smith?

          “For one very rich man there must be at least five hundred poor, and the affluence of the few supposes the indigence of the many.”

          -Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

          Or how about a quote from the author in your image?

          “Capitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it”

          -Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics: A Common Sense Guide to the Economy

          Or would you prefer we quote “advanced economics” like Marx?
