FDR’s opponent Alf Landon…The True Prophet of Social Security 1936 AD new it was a Ponzi scheme and Americans did not care. They WANTED to make Government their god. They wanted to trust in government and not trust in God. AMericans CHOOSE socialism over Christianity.
Soon those that believed in and support Social Security will see its fruit when the Ponzi Scheme ends up like all Ponzi Schemes do.
Yes, Governor Alf Landon had the correct position regarding Social Security in that presidential election, and the country would have been better off if he had been elected in 1936, instead of FDR.
What’s also interesting is that the Mormon Prophet, Heber J. Grant, also issued a stern warning against Social Security in the LDS Church’s October 1936 General Conference.
Do a poll of Mormons, and ask them if they know that their Prophet of God did such a thing, and I’m guessing that 999 in 1000 do not know it. That’s too bad, and it’s too bad that the church membership, in general, rejected his counsel. However, I do know some who followed have followed that advice, and do not have social security numbers.
