I’m hearing a lot of people complaining about how America pays its refugees more than it pays retirees who have “paid into the system” their whole life.

The average refugee is a fighting age male with no loyalty to the country.

The average retiree is broken, with no group identity, no ability to organize, and no other options.

You thought they are paying people as a reward for service to the nation.

They are paying people to mollify them in proportion to the trouble they might create.

It makes sense 

 @1f737851 This also explains how veterans are treated. 

 @1f737851 here's a thought: don't pay any of them, the system is a scam.
