“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

We are so far past that point now. I don't think there is turning back. Look at the biggest budget items Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare. Where is that in the Constitution? General welfare; give me a break.

No. Stop all wealth confiscation and redistribution.

I said I understand it, not that I support or even approve of it.

It is similar to healthcare; I understand why someone would support the government hiring doctors and nurses, making the saline solution for your political border, etc. But that does not mean that I understand (((socialized medicine))), where we allow monopolies by private interests (AMA, prescription system, pharma patents, etc.) to treat obese people, who will never contribute to society in a positive way; the same (and many times better) way they would someone who takes care of their self and contributes to society.

Ideally medical would be transparent and not encumbered by the state at all. If some shitty person wants care they would need to either find charity, or barter with the doctor for payment. There would also be many more doctors, and pharmacists would take a larger role in our medical care, maybe ordering strep tests and other routine crap that currently costs hundreds if you are an uninsured person.

Social Security IS NOT redistribution.

You pay into SS and take out from your own money. That's what SS is.

We don't have that. We have jew-forced wealth redistribution, they aren't the same.

That isn't totally true. It is possible to keep getting payments after what you paid in is exhausted. If you die before all your balance is paid out, that balance is not given to your survivors.

If it was all about your own money, why can't you opt out? Why can't I request a lump sum payment now to invest in the market and retire early?

Nope it is all a big ponzi scam.

True. And I'm generally okay with that. Again: that's social security, that's a thing that everyone either gains or loses, so it's a net zero. We don't have that, and being specific when naming "social security" should be done.
