Why we all haven’t gathered in our various Town Squares with torches and pitchforks is beyond me!

The lovely police state that is the United States now will not allow it... it would be considered a seditious act...

Give everyone a million dollars and be done with it

If you ‘UPPED’ everyone 1 million dollars, you would just have POOR MILLIONAIRES still on welfare, with nothing else changing.... etc etc etc

No one goes for my idea to build more treasury departments in all the cities in the U.S. to print more money either. Think of all the new jobs created printing all that money, not to mention the additional truck drivers needed to haul it around from place to place.

Perhaps...

But I’m not going to continue working the obscene hours I do just to pay more in taxes for everyone elses ‘rebate’...in the name of refusing to cower to the Socialists.

And actually, I think the Socialists in America hope/expect that I will actually work harder and longer to maintain my lifestyle as they suck off more of my income...and they are mistaken.

Yep. And yet traitors in Congress roam free and get re-elected time and again. Go figure!

But if they give everyone a million dollars, then there will be inflation. Better to give everyone 2 million dollars instead.

"I sure as hell want to know who would deny economic assistance to senior citizens."

Senior citizens are the richest people in the country. They've had a lifetime to save and invest. After all that they get free healthcare and drugs paid for by my taxes. And they get a social security check (that I will never get) courtesy of current workers too.

Don’t worry you will get a SS check the same as we are. Inflation took the money we saved and made in zilch. Incomes are now at least 20 times higher than what we paid into SS. When you retire incomes will be 20 times todays. Starting pay should be around $1,000,000. When they pay into SS you will get your paltry current payments back in no time at all. And at the time time what you have saved will have the interest reduced by the Fed so that your fixed income will decrease. Good luck.
