Lady, you really don’t want to go there with me.
There are many things I don’t think the government should be funding.
I think public schools should be shut down. The government shouldn’t be funding education. I homeschool my children. I shouldn’t be held responsible for anyone else’s. Why don’t you ask humblegunner about his opinion of homeschooling and public schools. He would never want public schools shut down.
If you look at post #14, you’ll see that I commented FIRST that this woman might be receiving both SSI and a salary, and that the political ad should air as is. I’m the one who put it out there, and humblegunner was replying to me.
But, I don’t think it’s right to joke and laugh about a situation involving a disabled person by using the word “retarded”. That was no better than what the Democrats do when they joke and laugh about Palin’s family. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.
What makes me laugh are people who complain about one thing but not another. Why should there be social security in the first place? Let’s go there, shall we? Someone could point out that people should be responsible to save for their own futures. SS isn’t an insurance plan you pay into. A retiree’s SS payments are being taken from the people working now.
Homeschooling is NO option for the vast majority of folks, retarded or otherwise.

Then she is scamming the system, plain and simple.

Point out this joking and laughing. I missed it.

I've been paying into it for decades. You tell me I should expect nothing back?
Retard.
I know exactly what you mean about people agreeing to some marxist talking points and not others. You're all conservative about limited government and yet go all PC on me and humblegunner. I guess you think that there are things people can't say. What is your list of things that aren't to be said or joked about? Please let me know so that I can search for you in the threads and not violate your delicate ears with my incorrect words.
And just when did we lose the correct meaning of the word retarded? When did it become an insult and not a description of a factual state? There is nothing shameful about stating a fact, and I do not take it back nor apologize for saying anything that I said. Humblegunner and I were not laughing at a retarded boy. We weren't laughing at all, but ruefully expressing our disgust with a government that would give a woman a salary to care for her own son, and an woman who would think that is okay. Any laughter or cruelty was in your own mind.
"Why should there be social security in the first place? Let’s go there, shall we? Someone could point out that people should be responsible to save for their own futures. SS isn’t an insurance plan you pay into. A retiree’s SS payments are being taken from the people working now."
There shouldn't be SS in the first place. People should be responsible for their own retirement income.
Unfortunately, there are millions of people who think that SS is there for their retirement. That's reality and can't be changed for those millions. It is not common knowledge that three people are paying for each retiree now, and it's getting worse by the moment. More's the pity. Undoing that, or somehow phasing it out, is beyond my ability to even suggest, but that doesn't mean that I approve of it.
You've made a lot of assumptions about me and read my mind incorrectly a lot here. JS.
