@dickybeacholdie@ScarletViolet90 Read a history book. The Republican party was started to end slavery. Not a single Dem voted for the civil rights act of 1968. The KKK was a Dem thing. Dems are the ones who think minorities are so stupid that they need their help.
@Roger_Negan Hey genius, if you paid the max in to Social Security for 30 years, you could get about $5k per month if you wait until you are 70. If you eliminate the cap, Elon Musk could draw out about a million a month at 70. Your idea would bankrupt this faster.
@pettersen4co@DeGette5280 Hey Representative Baby Prop, what's reproductive about aborting an unborn child? That would be un-reproductive health care. Just asking.
@Udntnonutn Where do you think the subsidy money is going to come from? Taxes. Propping up a bad idea is a bad idea in itself. Government should have never gotten involved in this. The ACA (aka The Unaffordable Insurance Act) drove up the cost of all health insurance and health care.
@SenBillCassidy Tell your buds in Congress thanks for that. You idiots spend money like there is no tomorrow. Nobody alive asked for this Ponzi scheme, but you geniuses have made it worse. I know, forfeit your lavish pensions and prop this up. You did it, now you sacrifice for it.
You are talking about 2 different things. There are income taxes (taxes on all revenue) and payroll taxes including social security, medicare, state unemployment, federal unemployment, and all of the special state payroll taxes. Can you tell me specifically what everybody's "fair share" is?
@kurdts@LibertarianLars I did vote for those who said they were going to fix it. This was a terrible idea in 1935, and it still is today. This cannot be fixed-it needs to be abolished. If FICA taxes are raised, the younger generations are going to pay for it.
@FrevertChris@kurdts@LibertarianLars Even in retirement, I paid a ton last year. So no, I'm not one of the 50% of Americans that paid zero in federal income tax.
@kurdts@LibertarianLars Nobody has since 1990, including your generation. 12.4% of all W-2 wages not enough? If this giant Ponzi scheme wasn't forced upon everyone, private investment of that much money would have made us all millionaires. Please keep in mind that we had no choice in this.
If they could have merely kicked the Iran can down the road, just like the last 8 administrations did, gas might be a little cheaper. Make sure you hold their courage and love of this country against them. And, by all means, vote for higher taxes, more regulations, more illegal aliens, and more inflation.
@CalebHoff165039@KatRav6 Forest Gump,"Stupid is as stupid does." Trump built things, golf courses, buildings, you name it. In politics, he has made many foreign allies and ticked some of them off. Good decisions and some not so good. The other 2 have done and achieved nothing- short of getting elected.
