Social Security and Abortion

Most people who know me, understand that I'm not going to get into big debates about controversial issues. I'm just not brave enough. 

Except... abortion.... Well it's just so clearly wrong.

But recently I heard a fact that was shocking to me: "The social security taxes depend on the rate of abortion." 

Here is how it was explained:

When the social security tax began the rate of workers to those retired was one to about thirty-three. That was plenty to use the social security taxes raised to support the retirees. If that money had been left alone to use for that which it was intended, it would still be in the system to support those who have paid in to it. But in about 1979, it was raided by the government to be used for other purposes, leaving it bankrupt. Now the ratio of workers to retirees is about one to six. Because of longer life expectancy and abortion, there is less workers to pay into the system. So we are living longer and killing part of our population. The rate of workers to the retired is expected to get even closer.

Now when we complain that the social security system is a rip off to the American people, we can know that we the people have a solution to the problem. Stop killing the work force!

And that's just the social security tax! That doesn't even consider all the great preachers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, mothers, fathers, or otherwise great contributors to society that we as a nation have allowed to be murdered.

This idea doesn't address whether the social security tax was a good idea or not, just a small lesson on why every life matters.  

You needed an economics lesson today, didn't you?
