'Waa, No Pizza Night': Sad Stories Roll In at Request of Obama White House

[Mr. Silverback]

I wonder what the average job provided by the building of the XL pipeline would have provided. If we had a White House press corps that had any guts, somebody would be asking the Dear Leader that.

Well, we would like to see SS get defunded, and this is a step in the right direction. Take notes: the bread-and-circuses model works.

Go tell 'em. Here's the link. I wrote:

I am retired and no longer pay FICA.

President Obama has said, "This is not a game." He's right, taking that $40 from my future Social Security benefits is not a game. It's deadly serious to me.

This "temporary" tax break is completely shortsighted and very naive.

If I had written what I wanted to write, black helicopters would be circling my house right now :)

To me, it means $40 less go’s into the social security ponzi scheme to be distributed to some old fart somewhere! /s

I want you to know that us old farts appreciate it because we are greedy bastards too. Keep on working dude or dudette, whichever the case may be.

You youngun’s keep workin’ and payin’ in.

I believe you may be one of "us" (ErnBatavia,dalereed,Graybeard58). See my #44.

“I will gladly pay for pizza night for now, for impoverishment later.”

[Osage Orange]

Actually that's incorrect.....They probably don't pay Income Taxes...and get the EIC.

But they probably do pay taxes when...they buy something, put fuel in their vehicle, pay a gas, electric, phone bill, etc...

I took some of my last check and went to the Injun Casino this past Monday....didn’t win anything, but what the hey - there’ll be another one soon.

When he starts acting like someone who is concerned enough about the economy and the “poor people” to change the frivolous way his family spends our tax dollars... oh never mind...

3.6% raise coming next month, mo money, mo money, mo money to have fun with!

“including one from a person who worried about not having enough to pay the cable bill — or continue family pizza nights.”

-Cable tv is a luxury, not a right. Cut back on the package or negotiate a deal with the company (you’d be surprised what you can get if they have a special running and they don’t want to lose you as a customer). Or, worst case scenario, go without until you can afford it again. You’ll live, believe me.

-Look in the sales fliers for you local Wally world or supermarket. Buy frozen pizzas at 4-5 bucks each. Delivery pizza is not a right or a necessity, and isn’t it about family time together anyway?

Yeah, baby....on the flipside, though, I join the Medicare throng at the end of this coming April, so I've just received my "Original Medicare" card, so Plan B will start a bit of reverse-suckling.

[hinckley buzzard]

Is it possible anyone is so gullible as to believe this shit? Fuhgeddaboudit. Talk about astroturf.

[rabscuttle385]

Wolf called the payroll tax extension a "raid on Social Security, which is already going broke," and he noted that the money paid into the system now -- through payroll taxes -- pays benefits for existing retirees.

Any Republicans who favor the continuance of this intergenerational wealth redistributionist Ponzi scheme are just as socialist as their Democrat counterparts.

I live in your district, Frank - and for this, I'm going to vote against you next year!

[rabscuttle385]

Money I can spend on conservative candidates to defeat Obama's sorry ass.

LOL! Post of the night!

[rabscuttle385]

I want redistribution of that $40 to all of us old folks.

Marxist.

Mark Levin’s talk show substitute asked how many pizzas could be bought with the $multi-million his vacation is costing.
