I have come to the conclusion that one cannot provide the “Village People” and their followers with facts, as they know better. Damn, I liked their music, so I hate to use their moniker to explain the current list of dem candidates i.e., a fake Indian, a gay guy, a communist, and a man who can’t remember where he is or for what he is running, but what else can you call them; maybe the class of clowns?
Anyway, I digress. I lived through all of which the video speaks, except the actual establishment. Oh I was alive then, but far too young to remember it. But my folks sure did; until the very day they expired the ONLY president worth a damn was “their” FDR for starting it all. Of course, they didn’t know about the subsequent changes because they were died in the wool Democrats and assumed it was for the good of the people.
How many of the other side realize who did what to OUR Social Security, which is no longer “social.” Hell, our elected officials do not even belong to it, or do they??????

I was all ready to comment and then read John J.’s comment and decided he said it best. Well shut ma mouth…
Social Security began in FDR’s administration with all good intentions protecting America’s middle class, wage earners, supplementing their retirement and so forth all under the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party is now also responsible for what Social Security has now become, Social welfare. Like the minimum wage, which was never designed to be a living wage but the means too which to enter the work force learning a trade while attending school. What is worse, is the way the Democratic Party has ruined a good intention turning to theft of the American people. Another reason for term limits and putting all of Congress under the same retirement plan. These idiots have forgotten who their bosses really are We The People!
Well put JJ!!!!!
