I agree with your analogy, however I do think that it leaves out the important aspect that one party is responsible for putting the trap on. Much of the people on the other end weren't even alive when the trap was put on. The fact that elderly people are unwilling to acknowledge their part in the problem shows they aren't serious about trying to resolve the problem.
Social Security money was spend 34 trillion dollars ago. Anyone still supporting Social Security is a thief. I'm totally sympathetic that the fact that the government stole your money, but you lose me when that becomes an excuse to steal from everyone else, including your own children and grand children.
Many of them had their parental guidance murdered overseas or were hypnotized into thinking that a dog was a cat prior to dissenting information being at the touch of their fingers.
They are being selfish in their continued support of it, but selfish insofar as they need housing and food and are used to providing it from their own hands or the fruits of legal contracts.
You aren’t wrong, just have more patience with them, it is going to take patient explaining, not hasty accusation.
Nobody likes being accused. Even when you’re right it makes the person dig in their heels, and it takes practice to get past doing. I myself am still quite bad at it.
