Then, they lose trillions of dollars here and there and it's swept under the [BLEEP] rug while telling us that we'll have to work well into our 60's and you'll be lucky if there's any crumbs left to survive off of for retirement. There should be protests in the streets daily over this.

Taxation is not theft.  That's a ridiculous statement.  Taxation is you fulfilling your duty to pay for what you are getting from the federal government.  If you don't want to pay for all those weapons and interstate highways and national parks, medicare, social security, and all the other stuff, move to another country.  

"We get no say in it" is another ridiculous statement.  We have elections.  

And if you've worked into your 60s and have no crumbs left to survive in retirement, you've mismanaged your life.
