On Social Security, and Taxes.
Suppose you're born on a planet. The first few years, your parents will care for you, but then YOU got to stand on your own feet, establish a life of your own.
You need to take incentives and efforts to make your life comfortable, well, even to fill your belly in the first place. "That's life", as the saying goes.
You're surrounded by beings akin to you, but everybody fights for his own life. Some fighting can be exchanged. One person is better at making shoes than the other is at hunting a fierce lion. To make exchanges even more comfortable for all, money is introduced, making efforts exchangeable better.
Ok. Let's suppose the lion bites off one of your legs, or all two of them - what now? You're certainly going to die, you're so helpless now. But your fellows are kind and nice: they will support you.
But they're supporting YOU with the outcome of THEIR efforts. They share the hare with YOU which THEY hunted .
YOU'RE LIVING ON OTHER PEOPLE'S EFFORT!!
The system which you're living in on that planet is called capitalism with a component of socialism.
