What is the single most important job in the mind of politicians? TO GET ELECTED — DUH!! ... Don’t misunderstand me, I am not a Mortimer Judd; I just happen to believe that Social Security undermines and limits the independence of the very ones it is intended to help. I believe people should have been encouraged to invest their own money and not turn responsibility for same over to a government administered by a collective of morally opprobrious individuals without spending constraints. I also believe that help for the truly needy should be in a capacity that enables them to ultimately help themselves. Continual handouts do nothing more than sustain the poor and disadvantaged in the same quagmire they are in. It does nothing to help them out of their rut or help them up. Continuous handouts breed dependence, not independence. ... Dependence may be viewed as a positive by those empowered through its use, i.e. politicians — but such cannot be said for the families trapped in the downward spiral of its application. ... Today, the person standing on the corner wearing a fedora, with an open trench coat, saying “Pssst, hey buddy,” is neither flashing their genitals nor selling stolen watches — they is a politician saying “vote for me and I’ll give you ‘fill in the blank.” - Mychal Massie (mychal-massie/premium/the-most-important-job-of-politicians/)
