"As for the burger flippers, all religions are equally valid, right? Isn't that what they've been taught? "

It has been acknowledged for a long time that Social Security will be reformed when enough young people vote to refuse to pay it.

We know that most of them never expect to receive a nickle of SS.

Obamanifesto says the time is now for young people to quit paying SS. His tax reduction to everyone starts with those who pay no income tax but pay "payroll tax".

Bingo, instant vote from all kids, part timers, students, low wage earners who pay no income tax.

How do you give tax breaks to "workers" (Hussein's favorite word, it is in almost every paragraph of his Obamanifesto; not "taxpayer", not "resident", not "American") who pay no income tax?

Can someone tell me why this is flying under the radar of the boomers who will be the beneficiaries of SS and who should be dead set against B.O.? They're not concerned that the system will be bankrupted earlier rather than later? Or is it that B.O. plans on taxing the "rich" to keep SS afloat while giving money they did not earn to the "working" poor. I am afraid my family will be considered "rich."

Like many conservatives, we grew up with nothing and have worked very, very hard to get to where we are and are by no means rich. While some people were watching TV or enjoying themselves, we were going to school on our own dime or working. What will the incentive be to do so if those who are too lazy get the same reward? A society that takes according to ability and gives according to need produces a lot of need and little ability.

I am feeling the same way I felt on September 11, 2001. This isn't supposed to happen here. BTW, love your Ayn Rand reference.
