Oh now there's no "17 million of us" cause that's the most convenient position for you to take in this moment?
What happened did you forget about the rest of your "brothers?"
Well to be fair that's the only reason why the government isn't far more tyrannical than it is. As it is it's an organized system of looting and you're either on the take or paying for everyone who is. I choose to gain from it because I can. Anyone who's capable of getting more out of it than they're forced to pay in does so. Everyone. Billionaires, corporations, people on welfare, veterans... We all take what we can get.
A whole bunch of boomers saying that very thing is how we got here. "Well I can't do anything, so I'll just let the illegals keep coming so that I can buy cheap shit in my retirement". There are other variations on the theme. No respect for that mindset.
