Van knows he is supporting a terrible socialist programs because it directly benefits him.
The proper stance is I hate social security, it robbed me my entire life, but I just want some of my money back.
Van sits there and defends it like it’s some great program we all desperately need and want.
Van is rationalizing to sooth his conscience
I’ll be honest with you, I don’t support SS or Medicare but if money is extorted from me upon threat of force, I’ll get every penny I can because I will never get back as much as if I had invested that extorted money myself.
The National Government is no different than the Mafia in my eyes.
Both specialize in and use deadly force to get their way.
