@tom_barmadillo So my Mom would have to sell her paid off house and rent an apartment somewhere until the money ran out, then she could collect social security (half of which would go to rent) and die in poverty. Great plan there.
@dcm24601@Jewelmama5@ZachLahn It would be far lower if rural communities had better uptake on vaccines and annual testing. I guess Republicans want to sterilize and kill their own voters. Of course, we know they don’t give a shit about women anyway.
@Omicron_ENG@SenBillCassidy There are plenty of options that don’t screw over older people. Abolishing the salary cap, progressive price indexing, raising the retirement age, means testing benefits, etc. Your “fuck you if you’re over 60, die in poverty” proposal shows how little you care about people.
@Omicron_ENG@SenBillCassidy So someone who is 64 gives up the $100k plus that they paid in, plus the employer match, and then gets to work until they die. Fuck off.
@DavidAfton3@erjohnjordan@seanmdav You’re not a third party. By entering the workforce you have entered into the same agreement. There are many options to fully fund social security that don’t increase the tax burden on most Americans. Functioning societies take care of vulnerable citizens (children & the elderly)
@SagesServant@TeamOssoff Why on earth would a farmer vote Republican? Republicans have fucked farmers over repeatedly. Are you saying farmers are stupid?
@HaydenLincoln76@erjohnjordan@seanmdav You think retirement planning is easy for poor and low income people? It is your emergency unless you’re totally cool with millions of homeless, starving, dying seniors. Of course, as a MAGA, you probably are cool with that.
@DavidAfton3@erjohnjordan@seanmdav We are demanding specific performance under the contract by the government. They presented this as insurance, now you want the government to default on its debts.
@ampenthusiasts@jmkindel@LeftyCrypto Social Security is presented as insurance (Old-Age, Disability, Survivor Insurance). Everyone has paid in with the promise of receiving benefits if they make it to retirement age. You want old people to die in the street in poverty because you’re a greedy asshole.
@88lkava@CurlysWife1951 Not all boomers are wealthy. You want people’s elderly parents and grandparents to die in poverty after paying their entire lives for Social Security insurance. Boomers worked far harder and longer than any Gen Z ever dreamed of. Fuck off.
@wrvb3@lets_truck Social Security is presented as insurance (Old-Age, Disability, Survivor Insurance). Some people pay in & die before they collect, some die before recouping what they paid in, & some collect far more. That’s how insurance works. Government mismanagement doesn’t void the insurance
@Bulldognor2024@Not_In_ThisLife@ksccyclone@ZachLahn@DMRegister@RobSandIA The audits take place all over Iowa. Having state auditors working remotely all over the state saves money by reducing travel costs. Whether you pull documents for auditors to look at in your office or upload them, it’s still YOUR responsibility to back up your numbers.
@FisGoing@SoTrumpie@MattWalshBlog They need to fix it by removing the cap. Either that or be prepared to pay welfare to millions of seniors to keep them from starving. These are your parents and grandparents, you evil fuck.
