Even though, I too believe this, and people have been preaching it for years, I am starting to question if it even matters.

It's just one facet of what's wrong with government control.

And since they print money willy nilly, and our country is supposedly in debt anyway, I don't see why anyone should care where they money in Social Security is coming from.

SSN is another conversation entirely - talking about people retiring after 20 years with ridiculous lifetime pay, then getting rehired as consultant at 2x the pay and a free car... this happens ALL THE TIME YOU'D BE SHOCKED... retired people making 2-6 times what they ever made working... NOT ALL.. but far too many.

And what often happens is the leader gets in trouble, resigns, then becomes a consultant for the same company at 2x pay and a free car.

At the employee level, you're told to document everything and keep records (following procedures, sorting and storing records in a certain way, etc.) so that you can be replaced easily.

At the C-suite level, you purposely don't do that. Everything is kept in your head or your private journal. If they sack you, all the information is lost unless they pay you as a consultant, in which case you drip feed it back to them!
