• Social Security

    From da pickle@21:1/5 to All on Mon Dec 19 08:54:27 2022
    Jerry thinks the Republicans are trying to take it away and Democrats
    can save it.

    I think it cannot be saved ... what have the Democrats done to try?

    A brief history might reveal a certain tendency of the government trying
    to do stuff to Social Security.

    Does anyone have an idea of how to "save" Social Security ... other than
    "make the rich pay their "fair" share?

    Bingo. Something that Pickle often trolls about when he’s trying to get someone to converse with him. (Allow him to insult them).

    And that’s the reason the Republican Platform [ https://gop.com/republican-platform-audit/ ] is calling for reducing, then, using 5-year Sunset, remove it and Medicare completely. (Plus tossing in that case Trump still has in from of the Supreme Court
    to let insurance companies drop people for preexisting conditions – finishing off Obamacare). Florida Senator Rick Scott was finally forced to post a platform when so many people kept complaining, “How can we vote Republican if you would say what you
    plan?”

    Mitch McConnell got pissed when Scott posted it just before the election. But as has been noted, the right-wing news watchers here never got the word, and FOX sure wasn’t going to tell them. (Lying by omission).

    What do the other charities say about your "solution?

    Must be "brothers" eh?

    If you are going to take all that money from the "rich", how will you be
    able to take it in additional income taxes?

    Take it all from the rich ... then they will understand what it is to be
    poor.

    Clean out all the savings and earnings of the "rich" and all problems
    are solved ... for how long? What happens when the "rich" are no longer
    "rich", Jerry? You two are amazing ... must be great being a "Bradley".

    The wealthy do not pay a proportionate % of their income for SSI like a typical American yet they still collect the highest SSI payments. Increasing the former and reducing the latter would do wonders.

    Bingo again. Social Security is insurance. The ‘premium’ should be commensurate with the payoff. And this still doesn’t address the fact that Republicans still want to get ride of it, and Medicare and let medical insurance companies drop you for
    preexisting conditions.

    "Tax the rich." That's the retard known as AOC's motto.

    And when she got the opportunity to do so, what does the typical left wing loon do?

    1. Stop printing $Trillions of dollars for government give-away programs to buy votes.
    .

    Is THAT what the Republicans were doing when they gave away $2 TRILLION to the rich in tax cuts?
    Then SHOW US THE GIVE-AWAY PROGRAMS.
    .

    2. Send the US Army to the southern border to stop the flood of millions of illegals.
    .

    Not only is that illegal, there IS no ‘flood of millions of illegals.’ There is a flood of migrants seeking asylum. Title 42. These migrants legally seek asylum. It’s required that they be taken before a judge and the judge decides if they have a
    good case and can stay or must be returned back across the border. So why are they still here? (Republicans want that cheap labor force here; so,).
    .
    TRUMP fired the judges. So they must be given a court date and can stay until their hearing. (Now Republican corporations and businesses can illegally hire them cheap and fuck them over on wages, medical and taxes). Why hasn’t President Biden hired new
    judges?
    .
    Because Senate Republicans have blocked all new judges. Why don’t you know this? Because you’re a fucking bot, being used by Republicans, and even though I’ve just educated you, you will STILL be too fucking stupid to understand this. This will be
    proven by your inability to respond.
    .
    .

    3. Fully open America's oil & gas resources to re-establish our fuel independence.
    .

    We already have “fuel independence,” and I’ve already shown you that. You’re just too fucking stupid to understand it and still puke out stupid right-wing rhetoric you’ve been force fed.
    .

    4. Pray the left-wing Democrats get wiped out in 2024.
    .

    See?

    fact that Republicans still want to get ride of it, and Medicare
    and let medical insurance companies drop you for preexisting
    conditions.

    And not a single wing-nut here will address it; (Much less admit
