@chiproytx And things had began to turn around when you and Congress looked the other way while el presidente enacted his childish tariffs on our closest trading partners. Just useless talk, and this is why the democrats are winning now.

@DavidAFrench Let’s go back to that top tax rate, too. That’ll show them.

@DrDiGiorgio So what? How many Americans go to Costa Rica for dental care? I bet more than that.

@jaredkushner Where’s the Secretary of State and his diplomatic team? Why are two real estate entrepreneurs negotiating a war between two other countries?

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@ICEgov I’m a small-town Alabama republican, and think this is some racist garbage. It was never “the way it was”. That’s why it’ll never be like that again. Go look up what the top tax rate was when you do think it was great like that, though. Maybe it’ll take that, instead.

@SenKatieBritt @SenatorTimScott I have to imagine this is why the Epstein files haven’t been released after republicans ran on it. My former party.

@jeremyct Pensions are still available in many civil service positions. A benefit for usually taking less in pay than private sector. I won’t see it, but you can get up to 80% of your last three years’ salary at my employer until you drop dead. Then there are survivor benefits.

@SenRandPaul My vote against Republicans doesn’t count in Alabama. The constant lies are why I left the party after 40 years.

@VAKruta @BioWonderf76866 I have a solid-gold BCBS plan. Wife is waiting 5mo to visit endocrinologist for issue. We met a number of Europeans traveling. Most are better fit, in better health, and will laugh in your face when asked if they’d go to for-profit. We’re getting ripped off.

@JamiethaFounder @SenSanders What tax breaks does Elon and others get that my taxes help pay for that I, and most other Americans will never participate in?

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@Mr_Hydrate @UziCryptoo To another q: payments can be expanded above the cap with a sliding scale back down depending on income.

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@Mr_Hydrate @UziCryptoo Agreed! I imagine some eggheads already have those numbers. If I was a betting man, I’d bet with no income cap, that 6.2% would come down a bit. That being said, would the politicians ever lower it, lol!

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@Mr_Hydrate @UziCryptoo If the fund stays positive, then lower the percentage for everyone and employers.

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@Mr_Hydrate @UziCryptoo I agree with you up to a separate account for high earners. If employer can pay an employee $.5m/yr, they can probably swing the 6.2. The goal is funded SS. They’re Americans like me and should contribute to our shared success. Why 6.2 for me and 2.29 for that $.5m/yr?

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@aldotcom No. It seems today’s republicans only care about privatization when there’s no money to be made.

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@Mr_Hydrate @UziCryptoo True, but that goes both ways. My taxes help pay for tax breaks and write-offs to the well-to-do that I (and most Americans) will never benefit from. Remove the cap on earnings.

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@chiproytx You go on the air with a Russian-paid stooge to tell your voters after years of not showing conservative principles, now you’re going to. Going to nominate another rich, crook to show off rhe party’s principles, sir?

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@RepGregSteube @Jim_Jordan Republicans like you and Jordan are why, after 40 years of only voting “R”, I’ll never vote for another again. Just go ahead and double-down. You’ll hand the Democratic Party the presidency and a super-majority in congress in ‘28.

[Robert Russom @lockbodybob]

@plantcare2 @RepEricBurlison LOL! I’ve personally talked to a number of them in the last few years, and all laughed in my face when asked if they’d ever consider for-profit insurance. On a tour in Egypt, one had to go emergency room. He said as nice as any in US. $68 total with two prescriptions. Try harder
