Gov. Daniels hates rich people, picks on Donald Trump
[Daniels said he would prefer ‘means testing’ and wouldn’t send a SS check to Trump.]
As concerns social security and these so-called “entitlements”, I think raising the age to receive is a good one. When SS first came in, people lived an average of 62 years.
But to make people pay in their whole lives....please don’t forget that we pay in 6.2% of our salaries our entire lives , MATCHED BY OUR EMPLOYERS....then deny them the money, is just plain wrong.
Maybe Donald Trump doesn’t need that $1,500 a month income, but he can take the money and give to his preferred charity, a needy family in his church.
To deny them the money is yet another form of re-distributing wealth. For we shall keep Trump’s SS money and give it to those who will vote for bigger gubmint.
Daniels’ message—The fiscal situation is SO BAD that we have to give up our core belief and rally behind someone who will fix it.
But can that someone be a 5’5” short mort who will be dwarfed standing alongside Obamsky? I think we have to give up more than our moral convictions and values. I think we have to sacrifice all short candidates too.
They got no reason to run.
Once you start means testing SS, people will revolt. The Dems and the Reps have sold the program as a pension scheme that they have paid into and the money belongs to them. The reality is that the program already is a redistribution mechanism given the way benefits are calculated.
