I said "socialist security", didn't I?
You say a lot of s***.So?
Does the man of twenty today have the option of keeping that 15.4% of his pay currently siphoned off by FDR's Ponzi Scheme? No.
Did the recipients of that money earn it? No.
The two signature elements of socialism are demonstrated: Theft from the producer and re-distribution to those who haven't earned it.
Socialism is the end of freedom, and slavery lasts forever.
Like I said its not socialism when you pay into a system your whole working life and employer does as well. Social security is an easy fix,just lift the cap off of its current $109,000 a year, problem solved.
As an aside, what would you do to the people that collect SS now? What about the current Medicare recipients, would you throw them at the overpriced hospital emergency rooms? That’s hardly cost effective.
Yes, same thing.
Re-distribution of wealth from the creators to the undeserving consumers.
If some of the winger congress critters would help put-up half the effort that it takes for them to obstruct, we would have solved the healthcare problem by now.
The cost of healtcare is fast approaching 20% of GDP, it would also solve the problem of the 45K deaths every year because of lack of healthcare. Nothing but win, win.
100% socialist. That's why it was originally called "socialized medicine" when it was first imposed on Britain.
Hey, I’m flexible; why not get system like they have in France where they have what is rated as the best healthcare system in the worlds and they manage to do it at about half the cost of ours? Plus they do it with private practitioners and every physician in France participates in the public health plan.
You mean stealing it from the people who paid the most taxes already.
Why not start taxing the people getting the unearned benefits?
Calculate their benefits and tax them 100% of those, in addition to their other income.
Hey, what’s wrong with letting so-called tax cut expire? The wingers were crowing when it was passed about how everyone got a big ole tax cut.
The trouble is that the middle class, or what is left of the middle class after the disastrous eight years of the most incompetent administration that this country ever had. The middle class got about $600 of the tax cut for every $78000 of the top 1%. Nah, not stealing, just righting a wrong that shouldn’t have been implemented in the first place, especially when we were on a war footing.
According to the Left, the is no such thing as a necessary military base.
Since the defense budget comprises less than 1/3 of the total federal outlays, and since 2/3 of the total federal outlays are unconstitutional, how effective do you think it's going to be to shave off those military bases while leaving the unconstitutional programs alone?
The last number I heard was we had about 750 overseas bases, at a cost of around $300 bill to maintain them. Using my handy dandy calculator we could save around $150 bill per year if we closed half of them and let some of the countries that are under our umbrellas get there own damn umbrella. We’ve been the global cop long enough, let someone else tote the badge for a while; at least until we get our house in order.
First step: Begin teaching the children about the evils of socialism. Tell them of the moral crimaes, the economic failures, and the mass murders that litter socialism's past and present.
Stop lying to the children.
Cut off the Left's supply of useful idiots.
This is just nonsense no need for a rebuttal.
