    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    It is today. There was a time when SS was a Trust created just for those who paid in. But government saw how much money was sitting there and moved all of it to the general fund where they could do with it as they wanted....

    The country doesn't operate on a theory. YOU keep saying we're "redistributing money" to people you don't like.

    In THAT context, WHAT is "redistribution"? Give me the mechanics of government on "redistribution". Take WHAT money from What rich? explain that.

    You think you can handle that?
