Right Thinking From The Left Coast
"To what purpose are powers limited, and to what purpose is that limitation committed to writing,
if these limits may, at any time, be passed by those intended to be restrained?"

Fetal Income
by Lee

Well, here’s one explanation.

A member of the governing board of the nation’s largest black denomination said Social Security is in trouble today because baby boomers aborted much of the generation that would have supported their retirement.

Bishop George McKinney of the Church of God in Christ said, “Part of the problem that we’re seeing now with Social Security has to do with the fact that 40 to 50 million people who have been killed through abortions have not taken their role as productive citizens.”

I don’t think that the issue is necessarily as simple as this guy is making it, but I also think that it’s undeniable that abortion has had an effect on tax receipts to one degree or another.  The main problem with Social Security is that it’s a poorly managed government behemoth, and like all government programs is doomed to failure.
