Better get those who agree with you to vote. You're losing in this FR poll. My viewpoint still has a plurality win here.

Simple math: add the 2nd and 3rd items on that list.

Anyone who agrees with SS at all, in any way, is a socialist. That includes all freepers who believe in it.

Anyone who wants to means test SS not only is a socialist, they are imbeciles. It changes SS from a Ponzi scheme which redistributes wealth generationally, into one that redistributes it between income groups. Like communists, but just a matter of degree less.

You see, it makes you a little commie. And that is as far to the left as is possible on this forum.
