"Greatest good" shouldn’t mean tossing the vulnerable aside. A just society lifts people up, not discards them. If your "good" requires cruelty, it's just selfishness in disguise. True strength is lifting others up, not stepping on them to feel taller.
The harm was begun by the Democrats when they supported slavery and then when the cause was lost, they used Congress to enact laws to make the leftovers subservient to the government right up to now. BTW slavery is still legal under the 13th...
Bringing up 19th-century Democrats to dodge modern issues is weak. Party ideologies shifted long ago. Stop pretending history froze. And yes, the 13th Amendment’s loophole is real, but both parties have upheld prison labor. If you actually care, focus on fixing injustice, not deflecting blame.
Calling decades of progress "subservience" is ignorant. Social Security, Medicare, and civil rights reforms helped millions. If you want to debate policy effectiveness, fine.
But dismissing everything as control is just lazy rhetoric. Real change takes work, not whining.
OASDI is an entitlement, just like any other investment. While not perfect, it is something people pay for with their wages. The rest results from not paying a living wage to everyone who works. That keeps them subservient to Federal Programs that the wage earners pay for. That's not progress!
