Why Billionaires Hate Social Security

The real goal of billionaire-funded Social Security rhetoric is to prevent the public from drawing a connection between Social Security’s finances, the working-class retirement crisis, and the ludicrous amounts of wealth held by America’s billionaires.

None of those links have anything to do with anti-vaccination disinformation. All of the articles would be reasonable arguments for assertions that billionaires want people to starve to death upon retirement, unless they have investment income. But none say anything about vaccines.

There's a connection between funded anti-vaxxers & narratives to kill off the elderly prematurely.

Dan Patrick said the elderly should volunteer to die (to preserve the wealth of his donors).

If seniors die, the pressure to preserve Social Security lessens.

Anti-vaxxer public sentiment was manufactured deliberately. Tim Mellon is just one.

Texas Lt. Governor: Old People Should Volunteer to Die to Save the Economy

According to Dan Patrick “lots of grandparents” are willing to sacrifice themselves for the cause.

One of the pernicious threads buried in a fascist movement is the amoral one of utility. It's sometimes described as functionalism.

In other words, if you're no longer of utility, your value as a human being should vanish. Efforts to preserve human life ends once your utility ends.

Billionaires funded anti-vaxxer public sentiment because fascists have beliefs about "useless eaters".

The billionaire set never says useful to whom.

@Npars01 @Steve98052 @GottaLaff Sure would be nice if, when you include a link, it's not one that's closed off to most people.

If you possess a public library card, none of these links are inaccessible.

Mine uses PressReader.

I access these links via my taxpayer supported public library system.

1. I detect an implied accusation I am somehow against public libraries. And here's me with a Hayward Public Library card
2. I just tried to do that but golly, it's telling me it needs to be a university
3. I'm not going to spend the evening trying to find a way that works
