One more way where socialism damaged the free market capitalist system

One more way where socialism damaged the free market capitalist system. Fact, there are more people that take then people that give. People that pay little to not tax at all. They get services that far exceed their financial contributions to the system. In every modern society it has gotten to be the case now days. And the reason is obvious. There are more of them. Easy to accumulate such voters when you convince them that others would pay the bill. It is the reason every western society caries obligations that can never be made good on. Take the US social security. It has obligations that can never be met. Every one knows it. Most are too scared to touch it. It can be fixed. Every day that it is not taken care of, makes the fix more expensive and more drastic when the shit will finally hit the fan. And it will. It is not much different as far as states pension obligations. Or Medicare, and Medicaid. One of the arguments the let’s do nothing politicians advance is that we as a nation made a promise to these people. True we have. But who are we? We are them. They are the people who voted for the politicians that past the laws that makes society owe them. Laws that were not sustainable from the jump. And who did these people who say the nation owes them expect the payment from? It is the younger people who were not a life yet, or were to young to vote when these laws were passed. The older people made the deal. They made a promise to themselves. And they obligated the kids that were to young to have a say, or were not even born yet. Is that fair? Is that moral? Do you in your private life obligate your kids to provide for you as you get older? if you don’t, why was it fair for you to obligate the kids of others to care for you. And by doing so. why did you obligate your on kids to provide for others? As to state pensions, it is truly egregious. The Unions financed the campaigns of politicians that, then when in power, were the once negotiating the union contracts. Including pension obligations, as well as health care provisions, work rules, and income. All negotiated with the people the unions financed on the other side of the table. Now we have pension obligations by states and municipal governments that can never be honored.
