(Washington, DC) — The following is a statement from Nancy Altman, President of Social Security Works, in response to Donald Trump demanding that the next coronavirus relief package include a cut in the payroll tax, Social Security’s dedicated revenue:
“The coronavirus pandemic is raging across America. Essential workers are in desperate need of tests and personal protective equipment (PPE). Millions of Americans are at risk of eviction. Over 57,000 nursing home residents and workers are dead. Hospitals are in danger of becoming overwhelmed.
Donald Trump is doing nothing to address any of this. Instead, he’s stated his intentions to hold any Congressional relief package hostage for his top priority: Defunding Social Security by starving it of its dedicated revenue.
As economic stimulus, this approach makes no sense. Payroll tax cuts waste money, delivering the wealthy and powerful the largest cuts while providing nothing to those who need it most, such as the millions about to lose their COVID unemployment benefits.
But cutting Social Security contributions advances a longstanding right-wing ideological goal: Weakening our Social Security system.
Congress must not give into Trump’s hostage-taking. Every Senator and Representative needs to call Trump’s bluff and work together to quickly send a COVID relief bill to Trump’s desk — without including any cuts to Social Security’s dedicated revenue.”
I know, let’s grab Nasty Nancy and make HER eat dog food...

Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
Hysteric.] (Med.)
A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
paroxism or fits.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
throat. The affection presents the most varied
symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
alone. Hysteric
George knows how to make people slaves: Give them free money, taken from your enemies.
Then, once they are used to the free money, Tell them your enemies want to take away your slave’s free money.
Your slaves will smite your enemies for you.
How about we start TRIMMING who all gets SS benefits? The list now is ridiculous.
Propaganda.
Both parties have been robbing SS for years.

Have you got a link to this?
So, what happens if someone turns 65 and doesn’t apply for it, or for Medicare?
I’m so sceared!
If you do not apply on time you get hit with "Late Penalties" and those last the entire time you are on Medicare. There is no end date.
RATS claiming Repubs want to end Soc Security are so 1980s.
Where did they get the stuff that they say with a straight face?Every election cycle same old same old.
Trump wants to defund Social Security as his #1 priority, huh?
Just making garbage up.
Never mind. What a crock.
Not exactly a powerhouse PAC.

YouTube must be trying to find away to thwart viewship by requiring a login.
Whether you use the embed link I first posted or THIS ONE - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fhGV1LxeKQ&feature=emb_logo&bpctr=1595908758
YouTube is feigning that this were a porn type or off color video. When I first viewed it NO SUCH WARNING popped up.
I FIND NOTHING OFFENSIVE ABOUT IT. Take a look and see if I'm not correct.
In fact, after looking tell me what you find to be OFFENSIVE.
When you pay your 15.3% Social Security taxes, the money goes into a lockbox in the District of Columbia. Congress already spent all the money in the box several times. The lockbox exists to keep your grubby hands off the money, so Congress can spend it again and again and again. But you must keep working to get that lockbox back to empty!
Sorry, I didn't answer your question.
My advice is to create a psuedo account to be able to login to YouTube.
Simply conjure up a new gmail address and a password and circumnavigate these YouTube attempts at diminishing viewership of an INFORMATIONAL video for Conservatives.
Here are a few of the comments by the now, nearly 2 million people who have viewed it.
Fact check: Truth, offensive only to Dems.
This is the honest truth! Offensive? Are you kidding me?
Ok so why is YouTube telling me I’m not adult enough to watch this when they promote movies like The Purge
Only the truly evil would consider this video offensive.
So funny they call THIS offensive. THEY can't handle the truth.
Ridiculous - this video is true. GET IT SENT TO EVERYONE.
