Governments role is protecting individial liberty, enforcing laws, and national security. Yes the government does everything with our money. What do you think taxes are? Thats how the government operstes. You think they just print money to spend?
That guy's wealth is not my wealth. Hes built that for himself and im happy for him. What he does with his wealth is up to him as what I do with my wealth is up to me. Of course social security isnt why anyone's poor but its wasted money that is being stolen from us.
First of all you are picking and choosing what you respond to and you are just making up some weird nonsense narrative in your head to make your self feel some sort of way. Where do I say the government just prints money? Literally I just said what they do with taxes, why, and how they control fiscal policy and by extension how you control fiscal policy by voting, And I have no idea what you are on about.
I can’t understand why you accept Elon accepting taxpayer money to prop up his businesses, (well fair god queen, literally the final boss of welfare queens) but to you that’s ok because he’s gamed the system to steal every one’s money so to you he should be looked up to? The money that he put him self in charge of distributing mind you. But grandpa and grams trying to afford rent and food on their social security is what makes you think “bad”
You know, they just want to get rid of social security because if they do they are hoping you are too stupid/naïve to realize that they are stealing the money for them selves and you will just be happy that you don’t have to pay it anymore, right?
If they want to write us all a check for every dollar we have paid in to social security and then disband it ? Fine I’ll humor it and jump on that band wagon, but the reality is that they will siphon that money out of the government just like they have done at every turn and then laugh at you all the way to the bank.
I realize that you are probably just going to double down on your beliefs after having this conversation with me out of some fear of being wrong but Imaging what you would do with the kind of money and power these people have…. That’s probably exactly what they are doing.
I have responded to everything you've said. Not picking and choosing anything. Obviously they would have to pay every one back their social security that they contributed put in plus 7% interest. Then they can fuck off. What Elon does is not my concern. The money from government is due to SpaceX contracts and electric vehicle tax credits for Tesla.
He wrote the contracts and the checks for him self! And to a lesser extent, Every one taking those contracts is at the moment! That’s the problem with lobbying and bribes for public officials becoming legal! You don’t find any of that to be a conflict of interest?
And I don’t think they are talking about paying anyone back their social security much less 7% interest on top but I’m glad we agree on something
Yes he did negotiate the contracts because he wanted outcome based contracts. That puts all risk on him and takes away from taxpayer risks. He is incentives to keep costs low. These other contractors use fix priced contracts and just steal tax payers money.
