@Owennfa What a load of baloney.

@TrpstrLeonOG The biggest difference is that pensions have pretty much disappeared except for government employees - and they should be eliminated for government employees, too - because they are unsustainable.

@TonyWard867811 The day the mortgagor signs the mortgage, they gain/retain property ownership, which can be sold for - guess what? Cash! In other words, the mortgagor receives cash in order to have a home, stability, a place to raise the kids, etc. It’s a win-win unless you are a whiner.

@0xDavecryps In large part, costs are high because the government has its hands in every item you listed and has failed miserably with every such program in spite of trillions of taxpayer $$$ being wasted on “helping” people. In other words, socialism - not capitalism - is the problem.

@BraddrofliT You apparently don’t like injecting “illegals” into the argument, but most people are not concerned about legal immigrants taking jobs - it’s that simple. As for AI, innovation has always cost jobs . . . and created new ones; and no one knows if it will be different this time.

@BladeoftheS You are 100% wrong once again - way to keep your perfect record going!

[R @westerntc55]

@jimthegiant Who is “we”, because I don’t.

[R @westerntc55]

@LtGovFlanagan There certainly are many pirates who robbed the State blind who would agree with you.

@tonyannett It depends what you mean by the working class. I wouldn’t hire a financially successful person to do electrical work, but I wouldn’t hire an electrician to manage investments.

[R @westerntc55]

@SenatorBaldwin And how do you propose to lower costs? NM - I know the government can’t help and that you are merely posting for campaign donations.

[R @westerntc55]

@RubenGallego Don’t penalize financially successful people any more than they are already penalized. Instead, get rid of the waste and most likely fraud in order to save Social Security.

@amelia_tweetz Who says they aren’t making people’s lives better? Just because they aren’t following your suggestions doesn’t mean they aren’t helping others.

[R @westerntc55]

@JohnRad15 Are you related to Kamala Harris? You seem to speak the same language as she does.

[R @westerntc55]

@RepDeluzio How about if we scrap the cap on BENEFITS to make it fair?

[R @westerntc55]

@hashjenni I can think of a couple reasons: 1) Wars eventually end, the items you named don’t end; 2) The only item you mentioned that is a federal government function is war (national defense). Lowering taxes only occurs if you don’t waste money on government-run healthcare, housing, etc.

[R @westerntc55]

@AngieCraigMN We’re tired of you wasting our hard-earned money - bring on the audits and slash spending!

[R @westerntc55]

@ByuSome You sound really knowledgeable . . . but your depiction of how easy Boomers had it proves otherwise.

[R @westerntc55]

@GavinNewsom I don’t think too many (intelligent) people look at California as a model of financial success.

[R @westerntc55]

@W_R_Emory How do you know voter fraud is very rare when officials either don’t know how or refuse to look for it?

[R @westerntc55]

@BladeoftheS Something tells me ridiculous posts like the above are making some serious money for the people doing the posting, because you simply cannot convince me that any competent adult can be this misguided.
