Yep, smooth talker with absolutely no positive accomplishments.
Or, as another article accurately stated...HE’S A BULLSHITTER.
You touch Social Security, you DIE!.......................
Well, just lost the senior vote
Oh this will go over real well. /sarcasm
Which article was that?
Here’s a thought. Only award SS benefits to people who contributed to it and their survivors.
It’s just phase I. Once it becomes apparent that they can get away with it, they will do it again.
I know this post will not be viewed positively by most here, but here goes...
SS was never a retirement account.
It was always a welfare program.
And I receive SS.
Not many seniors earn over $250k/yr.
The first thing immigrants do is get their parents over here and signed up for SS, and they get checks having never paid a dime into the program.
Can I get a picture of him pushing Grandma over a cliff, in a wheelchair?
Double taxation? Paid once to create SS then pay again when they pay us back a miniscule of what we paid in.
As I often say, the mafia wishes they could employ the tactics “legally” as governments do.
“Here’s a thought. Only award SS benefits to people who contributed to it and their survivors.”
Thas rasis!
Given the “opportunity” to join SS when it started my grand father said it was socialism and he said no. He is gone long ago but he always said he came here to get away from the socialists and fascists which he considered the dems and specifically rosevelt to be.
All of a sudden social security is in danger again.
Maybe they should stop using it to pay illegal aliens and lazy non-workers and use it for what it was intended.
The people who paid in shouldn’t be able to collect because it’s being doled out to non-contributors?
I guess in the gay community “third rail” must refer to something else...
And I want every penny until I die.
