Just a quick rejoinder because I can't help myself. Social Security and Medicare are socialist programs. I don't think they make people lazy. I think they provide a safety net and keep people from falling into poverty, which ends up being more expensive for everyone.

I think passing on wealth for generations on end lessens desire to work hard, but that's just me.
What safety net? There's no savings and if living on social security is our goal we are in serious trouble game or IRL... When there's no reason to have anything to strive for nothing to work for anymore and all the dollars like our current gold situation in the game dries up it causes war, famine, disease plus strife and there isn't anymore people to tax left... That's not what I want. I want vibrant economy where everyone has a purpose job and is happy to pull their own weight for themselves and their friends / family. Who wants to be just one of the drones? It's like voluntarily wanting to be BORG. I'll stick with the resistance and as long as there is freedom somewhere it'll never be futile!
