I don't support Social Security either. I know this makes me an evil, selfish, rich person (In reality I am none of those things), but programs like Social Security and Medicare is more "for you, from you" narcotic designed to get you to love the state.

Leftists in the US used to love to rail against the government. Funny how that rhetoric changed once they got the keys.

I think the left is generally too soft on the government (and Obama) too, but not quite for the reasons you believe they are.
