According to a recent report by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), different generations have paid and will continue to pay disparate amounts of Medicare and Social Security payroll taxes, and they will also receive dissimilar amounts of Medicare and...

I recall a story a while back about a couple of Philly cops getting fired for fagging off in the break room.
Hmmmm... I wonder....
Hey Humble
I think I smell ozone from the Great Zot Machine preparing itself for action on William Tell.
I normally think the blog police are over the top. But your one sentence excerpt, refusal to answer why you excerpted, and rude remarks... make them look justified.
Here is what Jim has to say on the issue.
"Our Bloggers Forum ( http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/bloggers-forum/index ) is open to all liberty-loving bloggers to post their great work to FR. But our readers are mostly interested in reading relevant posts in their entirety on FR without having to click to an unknown outside website where who knows what kind of cookies or tracking devices may await them. And they appreciate it very much when the blog authors join in on the ensuing conversation and become one of us.
Many times bloggers will post brief snippets only of their material and expect our readers to click on their link to get the "rest of the story" and then very seldom join in on the conversation that follows. No doubt this can give a blogger a few dozen extra hits and sometimes a little more, but unfortunately, it also raises the ire of some of our members.
If you would like to see your blog make it to the big times, and you have great news or great ideas to report, post your blog articles in their entirety to our Bloggers Forum on FR, and then join in on the fight for Liberty that follows!! If our readers like what you're posting, you may quickly become an accepted, trusted FReeper and you may start enjoying hundreds of new hits per each of your posted articles from FReepers who wish to see what else you may have to offer."

I hope instead that he shapes up, straightens out and stops his scummy pimping.
An attitude adjustment wouldn't hurt him either.
Socialism never works. Neither does blog pimping on FR. Both are proven to fail over and over and over. Yet some people continue to insist their way is better.
If the poster is Michael (and I haven’t seen proof of that), then what he really needs is writing lessons.
I braved the dark side and read the entire article, and it is pretty poorly done. I’m not sure it is even clear what, if any, argument is being made. The math is clearly wrong (like claiming that payroll tax is 2.9%). But more importantly, I can’t tell if the author had a recommendation or a point. It was like reading an encyclopedia entry, a mish-mash of facts and figures and some random 3rd-party statements.
Most interestingly, the article doesn’t really answer the title question.
I can see why someone wouldn’t want to post the 1st paragraph. It essentially says “different people pay different amounts and will collect different amounts based on how old they are”. Which doesn’t seem like much of a revelation.
Other important discoveries are that people are living longer, and medical costs are rising. Also young people won’t have much luck with collecting anything.
Never mind that one -- clearly it is MIchael, as I would have known if I had gone to the poster's home page.
and I am probably being too hard on the poster. I tend to grade writing pretty harshly. I wrote a column for a paper for 7 years, and I didn’t even like half of what I wrote. It is hard to meet deadlines and stay relevant.
He claims to be on his profile page.
Further, more than 90% of what he posts is from the same "author"...
"William Tell 2" is not I, "William Tell".
Any similarity to me is purely coincidental and his opinions do not in any way reflect mine.
If you do not want me to post anything that is your right to tell me. It is your forum. So I will not do so in the future.
Bye
That isn't even close to what Jim said.
So I will not do so in the future.
Bye
And while you guys back slap and huff and puff ozone over putting down another “blogpimp” the fundraising bar crawls across the screen so slow it practically never goes away.
monthly donor
So what? The bar still crawls so slow it practically never goes away.
Guess you oughta pull out that credit card then.
