RE :”...also, there is an ever growing *”R”* electorate that is accustomed to the handouts of all levels of gubmint, and we see it here every day...a willingness to ‘cutoff’ somebody elses perk as long as it doesnt affect theirs...”

Now hold on there. Republicans handouts are completely different than Democrat handouts. Ours are earned because we pay taxes so we deserve more and more benefits.
but Dem handouts are based on fairness, example : sjb has more money than some illegals kid in his state. So Dem fairness says he should pay more to ‘even the playing field’.

Keep the gubment out of my Social Security!

Where is “even” in the Constitution?

And not to worry....I DO pay more : )
