THIS is why America is bankrupt.
Why is Obama talking about cutting Social Security?
To please The Bitch and The Boner?
When will he learn?

They can have my SS checks. Not like they were going to give them back anyways. I'd rather have something that holds its value.
Remember that when you're 70 and eating cat food to pay for your prescriptions after you exhaust your 401k. Guess the guns will come in handy then....the disaffected can suck on the barrel for one last meal of lead.
Guess that's the Republican plan for old age.
Well, in 45 years when I am 70, I'm willing to bet the age to collect on benefits will be raised to the late 70's (if it exists at all). But it's not like it'll matter, since I have a much better retirement options anyways. Ones that, ya know, actually make money, not lose it.
Really! A financial genius, never lost money? You need to write a book!
Yeah I should. It's called spend less than you make.
Yeah I should. It's called spend less than you make.
Yeah....I'd be willing to bet that there were a lot of people with that plan in '08
All I want is to be able to opt-out of SS. I think that's perfectly fair. I don't want to pay into it, and I don't expect anything for it later.
Same hereAll I want is to not pay taxes on a military that outspends the next ten strongest global military powers combined....
Again, same here.All I want is to not pay taxes subsidizing big oil
So you want to have control over what people do with their own money?billionaires who hide their assets in tax haven countries and Wall Street
While I'm all against corporate welfare, it's not those companies fault that American workers aren't skilled enough to do the jobs these days.All I want us for my tax dollars to stop paying for breaks for multinationals to ship real American Jobs overseas.
I think you and I both want a lot of the same stuff, but you're far too obsessed with partisan labels to see that. Any more strawmen?When I get what I want, you'll get yours

Rather reminds me of Robert Heinlein, "There is no greater tyranny than to force a man to pay for what he does not believe in simply because you think it is for is own good."All I want is to not pay taxes on a military that outspends the next ten strongest global military powers combined....
