Social Security disincentivizes work. Disabled or elderly recipients lose benefits if they re-enter the workforce, trapping them in dependency.

is it better to let unfortunate people to die in hunger?
Government programs aren't the only way and very far from the best way imaginable to help people who have fallen on hard times. That's simply bullshit propaganda the government has every incentive to spread: "Put up with us or die in a gutter". But that is a false dichotomy, leaving out churches, donation-based organisations, the simple charity of regular people who would have money to share if they weren't taxed into oblivion and perhaps most importantly: the absence of the poverty the government creates using minimum wage laws and other price controls, central banking and inflation, and the hyper-regulation of large numbers of economic sectors, limiting competition and creating cartels or monopolies.
Just think how you would act if you encountered someone who's hit rock bottom with no government to help them and then assume that most people - given personal financial stabiliy - would act kind and compassionate as well.
What I understand from this is that charity can replace a government.
Is that what you are saying?
That is what most of these
Boot strap shills cry about .
Non-profits are just as weak as the average tax-evader .
There is no way that a charity could sustainably care for the broken & unsheltered.
It will always require a team effort to help rehabilitate these abandoned citizens .
Capitalism fails in the same way that authoritarian communism fails : THERE IS NOT ENOUGH EMPATHY IN HUMANITY .
Yeah, because who would vote for less government power or lower taxes if they themselves were hopelessly dependent on tax money.
Gen Z actually cannot work at all. Social Security wasn't really designed for that, but that morphed into something completely fraudulent.
That's unfortunately been proven, especially since nobody who's a Zoomer has the skills necessary to pull this off.
My numerology, however, gave me understanding on what I'm supposed to learn and do. I'm doing exactly that, which was my calling from the beginning.
