Naw, we're not in trouble due to the loss of capitalism, that's been gone for 100 years at least.

 

What is going to seal our fate, is the people who are willing to be herded like sheep into their own oppression and slavery, desperately clinging onto some fantasy that they are supporting the exponential growth to omnipotence of their own government, and the people in the government positions of power will only use that power to help everyone else.

They so deluded they convince themselves the socialism THEY are going to be part of won't have all those arrogant power tripping administrators who suck some payoffs like a leech clamped on your arm

The people who are still on the left are nothing short of freaking zombies, numbly marching to whatever cadence is barked out on their TV from CNN or Daily Mail.

They so scared of their own shadow they afraid to make a stand, they don't understand that blind rage they are feeling is their sub-conscious telling them they a damn fool.

 

Naw, we are in really deep doo, because there are so dang many people who have forgotten how to think for themselves.

We will cope by gaming the system.  We all bribe Government HR personnel to get a federal government job at the age of 21. Then we retire from that at 41 years old. Then we get an identical job at the state level and work that for 20 years and retire. Then we bribe a Dr to get a permanently disabled diagnosis and we go on SSI. So at age 61 we sit back and count our money. That is how we survive after capitalism is murdered by the Democratic Socialist Party of America  currently known as the DNC. This will work because as we all know the way to get ahead in a socialistic government is to work the corruption angle, the foundation upon which socialism, and its various incarnations, are based on.

Don't get me wrong Muleslayer, that's not for me either, though lots of people work hard to double dip on pensions from private and public entities. If we loose our capitalistic society, it will be a socialistic one, or worse. Corruption is rampant in these systems when compared to the corruption in a capitalistic society. In them you get by by being in the rich crowd. If you aren't in the rich crowd your in the poor crowd, and need to game the system to get by. There is no real middle class in socialism, though they claim to.be working the system to benefit them.

How is it double dipping if you put the time in? If you want to put 20 years in and then switch jobs to something better and put another 20 in why not collect? 

It not like SS where anybody with a Dr.s note can collect disability without putting anything in.
