First, the Tea Party will fire treasonous bastards like you and your BFF!
FULG! FUJM!
fyi
Linda should work on reducing government employees and their benefits, including her own.
Sorry Lindsey, I don’t think “wealthy seniors” are the real problem here. Comprende?
Leave it to Graham to pick up the chant for CLASS WARFARE!
Let’s start by cutting the salary of congress wienies in half, you sonsa... Show some leadership you treasonous ba$tards.
Graham is a poster child for abortion. Why did his mama not do the right thing. I am anti abortion but in a few cases, exceptions should have been made.
Well there are some easy ones too. No more JUANnabie, RINO Senators.
They take your money and they promise to give it back to you.
Then they don't give it back.
So much for equal treatment under the law.
It’s those damned chickens again . . . the political establishment is getting desperate. The day of reckoning is on the event horizon.
What about reducing Federal Pensions for Wealthy Politicians first and set an example lol I would love to see that they can start with clinton how many millions has he made?
How about all those wealthy Retired Senators why don’t they give their federal pension money up?
Screw them they forced people to pay into Social Security and it is not the wealthy (who determines wealthy anyway?)seniors fault the politicians looted the fund.
About that wealthy part with the Fed devaluing our currency and near zero interest on savings as a result and inflation they are doing their best to strip them of anything they have left as it is.
So let me get this straight....
you’ll NOT collect what you paid in to and an employer matched under either of the below scenarios:
You die before getting old enough to collect
OR
You were too successful in helping the economy hum
Do i got this right?
Here comes that “wealthy seniors”
thing again. Is a wealthy senior one that’s scrimped and saved their whole working life to put $500,000 into a retirement fund for themselves while the governmant gave away their tax money to those who have spent their entire lifetime on welfare?
Sure Lindsay, America needs another welfare program.
Miss Lindsey can drop dead.
How low do you have to be to suggest that people who have taken risks and worked hard and saved for retirement and paid taxes their whole lives should be stripped of the social security benefits they’ve earned, just so there’s more money for irresponsible losers, bums, and parasites, as well as “crazy check kids” and other “disability” frauds?
I better get every last dime I got coming, even if only to help with my boat payments.
Drop dead, Miss Lindsey.
I agree with the idea but to do that you need to have a two teer SS system, a private account SS and an optional public SS system.
How about trimming government spending? How about we make SS only for retired people again?
Both SS and Medicare will have to be "means tested", increased eligibility age AND benefits frozen at inflation minus x percent to have any chance of bringing the deficit under control without raising taxes.
And yes, it's an approach I support.
Bottom line is that this is just another proposal to tax the rich. The rich pay into the system, and it is their money that they should receive back. They already pay a lot in taxes.
If they want to give it away to charitable causes or back to the government after receiving it, that is their choice. Perhaps there can be a way to encourage the wealthy to give more to charity or toward a common good purpose, but it must be their choice.
Most of the very wealthy already give back through charity, employment opportunities for many people, and a variety of ways not commonly known or advertised. Their amount and way of giving should be their choice, however.
This is my view on this, and I think Graham is wrong.
