Wexler suffers from a rectally incarcerated cranium.

A democrats answer to a problem is a tax hike.

Who`d of thunk.

[eeriegeno]

Rep. Robert Wexler, D-Fla., said Friday: "I have the largest amount of Social Security recipients of any Democrat anywhere in the country. My allegiance to seniors is greater than my allegiance to the Democratic Party."

Ha ha, that's a funny one Bobbie!!!! Either you have a good sense of humor or you lie a lot...

Your allegiance Bobbie, as I see it IMHO, is first to your own sorry a$$. Then it's allegiance to your party. Then maybe the seniors in your district come in third. But then again, maybe your family is third place and the seniors are fourth. Undecided on three and four......

Hey guys, listen up!! The Whitehouse gets it! The rest of the Dems are claiming that Social Security isn't broke. Wexler, by pushing a tax plan, is admitting that it needs fixed! This is GOOD!!

[Brilliant]

They've increased taxes many times, claiming each time that the tax increase would save social security from bankruptcy. But it's still headed for bankruptcy, and the reason why is very simple. Once they get their hands on the additional money, it's out the door to fund their pork barrell spending.

They issue an IOU that can't be paid back unless we increase taxes again later on, and we're right back to where we started from, except that taxes are higher.

There is only one way to prevent that from happening: private accounts that the government can't touch.

Note to 'enry:

Ah - the typical solution to solving an idiotic problem: Raise taxes! The usual gutless, visionless, perverted, moronic, and sissy solution to every problem you folks in government invent and then try to "solve." You and your legislative brotherhood/sisterhood are truly insane - you do the same thing time after time after time and expect a different result. I would suggest coming up for air and checking reality every once in awhile. You would be amazed at what it will do for you!

But he obviously has no allegiance, nor concerns, nor worries about his "constituents" children...

[Viking2002]

Typical Dim response to every problem: financially rape anyone who can afford to pay their bills, and pitch fistfuls of their money at the problem. Wexler can go urinate up a rope.

[ARCADIA]

Totally predictable; and, the most likely solution. This is what happens when you arrogantly raise a losing issue. There is nothing wrong with social security that is not equally wrong with every other government program. The push back is going to be a $itch.

[ThinkDifferent]

Wexler's bill calls for a 6 percent tax on all income above the current $90,000 cap. Three percent would be paid by workers and 3 percent paid by their employer.

So not only is the "solution" to raise taxes, they continue to insult our intelligence with the "employer pays half" BS.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Typical DemoRat solution to every problem.
