@GrantCardone@SteveHiltonx I don't think Karen Bass wants to face Nithia in the runoff because Nithia would likely win. She has a better chance against Spencer Pratt.
@TonyWard867811 You made your bed and you know it. Now sleep in it. So many things you could have done, most notably eating healthy and taking care of yourself.
Watch California, everybody! Our Election process is as bad, or worse, than any Third World Country. The biggest difference is, they count their Votes much faster — They don't wait seven days to tell you who won, rigging the Election during each and every one of them. Americans are ashamed of what is happening! President DONALD J. TRUMP
@AwakenedOutlaw I think you're wrong. I hope you are. I just don't think they are stupid enough to rig the election this time with all the attention being paid to it, as well as the upcoming USSC decision that could end the practice of late counting of ballots.
@wilsonhlthcoach My friend from undergrad who lives in Malibu actually admitted to me that it was hard to care about the fires that didn't affect his life. Well then the Palisades fire happened and he changed his tune! Luckily they stopped the fire a half mile or so from his parents' home
🚨 SPENCER PRATT JUST OBLITERATED THE SOCIALIST FRAUD TO BILL MAHER:
"We tax these people so much then socialist scammers STEAL THE MONEY! THEY are connected to the people taxing it!" 🔥
"People are all hyped on socialism because they're like everything's so expensive, America's failed, give me money, but what they're forgetting is all the people that these socialists are saying they're taking the money and giving, they're going to leave."
"And then they're not going to have any money to take from these people to give to you."
"I keep telling people the way we get you money is stopping the socialism, letting that successful rich people build businesses, build restaurants, put money into your pocket because there's more jobs."
"There's more opportunity. That's how we actually get you more money to lie to you and tell you we're going to tax these rich people. We already taxed so much in L.A. in California. I can't even comprehend taxing more!"
"Then the people that should see the money, the communities, the after the boys and girls clubs, the parks, the actual infrastructure doesn't see that money because different rich people stole the money that was being taxed from the rich people."
"So I actually feel like Robin Hood, because I'm coming in and I'm going to say, where's all this money?!"
"We're done with everyone STEALING the tax money and we're going to actually put it to the people that have turned to socialism because they say America doesn't work. It doesn't work if we let people steal all the tax money."
Nailed it.
@amjadt25 Then the Iranian people should get up and go do something about it. If it were my son or daughter, I wouldn't be waiting around for another country to help. Take action you fools!!
HISTORY LESSON ON YOUR SOCIAL SECURITY CARD:
Just in case some of you young whippersnappers (& some older ones) didn’t know this. It’s easy to check out, if you don’t believe it. Be sure and show it to your family and friends. They need a little history lesson on what’s what and it doesn’t matter whether you are Democrat or Republican. Facts are FACTS.
Up until the 1980's, Social Security cards expressly stated the number and card were not to be used for identification purposes.
Since nearly everyone in the United States now has a number, it became convenient to use it anyway and the "NOT FOR IDENTIFICATION" message was removed.
Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. His promises are in black, with updates in brackets.
1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary [No longer voluntary],
2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual Incomes into the Program [Now 7.65% on the first $90,000, and 15% on the first $90,000 if you’re self-employed],
3.) That the money the participants elected to put into the Program would be deductible from their income for tax purposes each year [No longer tax deductible]
4.) That the money the participants put into the independent ‘Trust Fund’ rather than into the general operating fund, and therefore, would only be used to fund the Social Security Retirement Program, and no other Government program [Under Johnson the money was moved to the General Fund and spent]
5.) That the annuity payments to the retirees would never be taxed as income [Under Clinton & Gore up to 85% of your Social Security can be taxed].
Since many of us have paid into FICA for years and are now receiving a Social Security check every month — and then finding that we are getting taxed on 85% of the money we paid to the Federal government to ‘put away’ — you may be interested in the following.
Q: Which Political Party took Social Security from the independent ‘Trust Fund’ and put it into the general fund so that Congress could spend it?
A: It was Lyndon Johnson and the democratically controlled House and Senate.
Q: Which Political Party eliminated the income tax deduction for Social Security (FICA) withholding?
A: The Democratic Party.
Q: Which Political Party started taxing Social Security annuities?
A: The Democratic Party, with Al Gore casting the ‘tie-breaking’ deciding vote as President of the Senate, while he was Vice President of the US
AND MY FAVORITE:
Q: Which Political Party decided to start giving annuity payments to immigrants?
A: That’s right! Jimmy Carter and the Democratic Party. Immigrants moved into this country, and at age 65, began to receive Social Security payments!
The Democratic Party gave these payments to them, even though they never paid a dime into it!
Now, after violating the original contract (FICA), the Democrats turn around and tell you that the Republicans want to take your Social Security away!
And the worst part about it is uninformed citizens believe it!
If enough people receive this, maybe a seed of awareness will be planted and maybe changes will evolve. Maybe not, though.
Some Democrats are awfully sure of what isn’t so but it’s worth a try.
How many people can YOU send this to?
Milton Friedman: “Keep your eye on one thing and one thing only: how much government is spending, because that’s the true tax.”
“If you’re not paying for it in the form of explicit taxes, you’re paying for it indirectly in the form of inflation or borrowing.”
