It's a bit rude to suppose that I want to commit murder, drink and drive, steal, rob banks, and set fire to things.
Calling paying legally authorized taxes coercion is abusing language to make a stupid political point.
Sorry, could you point out in what way the situation I described is not coercion? Are we to suppose that it is not coercion because it has been happening for a while, to a variety of people, despite the definition of the word not mentioning this?
Calling tax-paying "generational theft" is the same thing.
Social Security will not exist in its current form when I am 65. A variety of solutions could cause it to continue to exist in some form, like killing people when they reach the age of 80 (this probably would not be legal), paying out less, setting the cutoff age to be later, or just arbitrarily denying payouts to people completely at random (this would be legal - see Flemming v. Nestor), but most of the likely solutions to the problem result in people my age paying in a great deal more than we will ever receive.
