20. it's all about who or what holds the nation's wealth. Social Security
is an attempt to level the playing field. That's why the corpublicans hate it so. It's OK for them to feast at the government trough, after all, they deserve it. It is not OK for you or I to.

And the bullshit that binds, is the meme that ANYONE can be wealthy, all you have to do is want it bad enough. Nothing could be further from the truth. The system is stacked against the average American in every way possible.
