“Means testing of SS is not a conservative position.”
Neither is opposing selling off our highways to foreign interests. I guess any of us can define conservative positions any way we want.
I’m sorry that you worked under an income tax surcharge that was given the misleading name “Social Security”, but it was quite OBVIOUS to people who saw that Al Gore’s “Lockbox” was empty...and there was NO INTENTION of filling it. At that point, a person who reasonably planned their retirement would have accepted the fact that the money was gone and future generations would revolt at being told that THEY STOLE IT...essentially.
You may call yourself a conservative for sicking the government on my kids (and future grand kids) to pay for your retirement. I SURE AS HELL DO NOT.
You don’t get it. US citizens ALREADY PAID for (SS) retirement. That money was STOLEN.
Usually in cases of criminal activity the perpetrators are found and put on trial, then sentenced.
Every former member of congress and former president needs to pay restitution to the SS fund... money they misappropriated.
Let’s first go after the estate of Ted Kennedy.
