Actually, people voted for those things. Socialist just do what they want with zero regard for the people. They control all things, like where you can go to school, where you can go to the doctor, whether or not you can practice a certain religion and they also like to devalue the currency so that you have no choice but to use government assistance. See, social security is part of a tax that gets taken from your income, when you get old you get some back. Personally, I don't think social security was a good idea. Why can't government let people make their own decisions about their own retirement?
