I would like the abolition of Social Security. It is an abomination. The government has no right to force me to do something with money (becasue I’m too stupid to do the right thing). It is morally wrong. What makes FDR smarter than me? It is repellant.
It is also a lie and a failure. It is the poster child, the patient zero, of the whole infrastructure of socialism. From that small seed grows the whole tree.
“Well golly, if the government’s gonna pay me when I’m old and take care of making sure I can retire, what’s wrong with ‘em running the insurance companies”.
As a thought exercise, what combinations of elections do you believe will lift the evil, socialist, unconstitutional weight of Social Security off my shoulders? 2010? 2012? Sarah Palin gonna’ get rid of that?
Just curious. Because I’ve about given up on elections fixing anything at this point, but I’d love to be convinced otherwise.
Remember, President Bush was trying to give the people a choice with either staying with Security or using private pension plans. The liberals laughed at him
Elections have consequences, just look at what happened on Sunday. Do you think for one second that we would be facing the massive effort that repealing or defunding this monster would even be an issue if we had elected McCain? Do I like him, no do I believe him to be a conservative, sort of and a damn sight better than the Obamanator.
But, maybe we can all just give up and say that elections just don’t matter whine whine whine. I’ve heard it a million times and I’m sick of it.
Politics is moving the ball down the field. It doesn’t always mean that you throw a touchdown, or kick a field goal, it’s about getting there as quickly, or slowly as it takes to get into the endzone.
Social Security for all the fact that it’s a ponzi scheme and financially it is bankrupt was not passed like ObamaCare. It had solid bi-partisan majorities and was a popular program. This doesn’t mean that I don’t agree with you in principle, but we’ve got a shot a repealing HCR.
