And yes, Virginia, there IS a Santa Claus and its name is JUSTICE, with a CAPITAL "J". But if you don't see it during your present lifetime, you will IN YO' NEXT MOFO!

The Great Society was stillborn.
Here is a novel idea: when young people should save and invest their money so there are funds available when they are older.
But we’re chained to the corpse.
Does anyone think the politicians will ever really cut anything?
Whoa. I though I was a strange writer.....
No socialism is forever. It is inevitable, that once the politicians start borrowing from the future to pay for it that the end is nigh.
The great society was the beginning of the mess we are in today.....LBJ was nuts...
It was the continuation of The New Deal, that was the real beginning.
OK, I read this. Didn’t understand it since I’m not stoned to the bone as the author must be. But I read it.
What a pantload.
Yup; self-respect, DIGNITY, and individual responsibility to Progressives is as bad as the "N" word....we all MUST be forced to "share", so the votes can be bought, and servitude continued, to keep those in Power perpetually in Power.....
What a concept, jackwad...........

Another “unfettered capitalism” prog screed. I’d like to know what happened to this guy’s money since he made “3 figures an hour” during his lifetime.
What I don’t understand is Mr. “X” blamed his current misfortune entirely on his MS disease and politicians on both sides?
Just because he was an executive one time making three figure per hour pay does not mean Mr. X does not bear responsibility for his fortune/misfortune, illness or not.
What/where did I get wrong?
In Pulp Fiction that line should have been followed with Porky Pig waving goodbye and saying "Abedee, abedee, abedee, that's all folks!"

It struck me the author had SLJ in mind when he posted such an over-the-top piece of bombast...
Here is a novel fact: In the late 1960's I wrote to my congressman requesting to be excluded from the Social Security plan so that I might save and invest my money so there would be funds available for myself when I was older. I received a flat 'no' answer and was told that Social Security was an old age insurance policy that would provide funds for my retirement. It was not an option to opt out of it....
Does anyone believe that the only way to stop the poli's is to cut them off at the knees so you don't have to jump to cut off their heads????
Seniors who are now dependent on SS and Medicare need to understand that the Constitution does not say no these “government” taxing and spending programs.
H O W E V E R ...
Regardless of FDR’s and Johnson’s good intentions, and regardless of the Constitution-ignorant voters who supported the establishment of these “government” spending programs, as a consequence of widespread ignorance of the Founding States’ division of federal and state government powers, including among federal government “leaders,” both FDR’s and Johnson’s programs were wrongly estabilshed outside the framework of the Constitution, based on usurped state powers.
In other words, the Founding States had made the 10th Amendment to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about programs like SS and Medicare means that such programs were automatically uniquely state power issues; only the states can tax and spend for such purposes.
In fact, a major difference between Obamacare and RomneyCare is the following. While RomneyCare is basically constitutional, being based on 10th Amendment protected power to tax and spend for healthcare purposes, Obamacare is based on constitutionally nonexistent federal government powers. In other words, Congress wrongly ignored its Article V requirement to petition the states to ratify an amenment to the Constitution which, if the states had chosen to ratify it, would have granted Congress the specific power that it needed to establish Obamacare.
The bottom line concerning why we now have so many constitutionally indefensible federal taxing and spending programs is the following imo. Crooks have been taking advantage of widespread ignorance of the Constitution’s division of federal and state government powers by doing this. Instead of getting their hands dirty by robbing banks, “elite” crooks are now getting themselves elected to Congress where they fill their pockets with taxpayer dollars based on appropriations legislation which they cannot justify under their constitutional Section 8, Article I-limited powers.
I wonder what his DU / KOS screen name is ?
