Another thread celebrating slavery.

I admire the consistency of the statists.

Though I'm not sure the statists will like this part:

Quote:
Parents would be able to draw from their Social Security benefits early under a paid family leave bill to be introduced Thursday by Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Rep. Ann Wagner, R-Mo.
You have permission to get back the money stolen from you? Eek. Borderline sanity there.

We dont have accounts to draw from. Once our money is stolen it is immediately redistributed to someone else.
And lol @ the state "letting" us have some of our own money back. You might say Rubio is a generous crook to propose such an idea

The money that is stolen from our checks for SS goes to people currently receiving SS. It's a Ponzi scheme; that money is gone forever.

If crooks like rubio really cared about everyday people he'd introduce a bill letting us opt out socialist insecurity or abolishing it outright.
If its as good plan as they say, it should be no problem to fund with the contributions of willing participants.

For all those moaning and whinging about the declining USA birth rates (in particular of white/European females), this sort of thing isn't a bad way to go.


But then again France has an extensive and vast system of maternity/infant/child/family support, but birth rates in that country are in decline as well. So there is quite a range....

Once again people without kids are discriminated against. They pay the most taxes and get the least amount of perks.

From the article
Quote:
Today, having a child can be an income shock matched only by college tuition or a down payment on a home."
ironically two other market sectors that govt policy (and its central bank) has made more expensive.
This scheme is a good example of how government breaks your leg and then hands you a crutch.
