Absolutely Pathetic

"Social Security will be there even longer than we projected because you worked for it and you deserve it."

I can't believe that in 2022 Biden is still pedaling lie that social security is a forced retirement savings. Social security disability is just a de facto welfare program that has little if anything to do with how long you worked or how much you paid in.

The best part about this is waiting four years to see how all the crazy apocalyptic predictions made by the fear mongering idiots in Right Wing media turned out to be painfully wrong...Gasoline would hit $10/gallon. Hyperinflation would ensue.

Do you view all insurance as welfare?

I just want to clarify.. are you talking about Social Security or Disability Payments?

If I sold you an insurance policy that was for people over 65 that had worked 40 or more years and you paid those funds to child welfare, young adult disability, foreigners whose brother worked 60 days in the US before being deported, etc. that would be called insurance fraud and whoever sold that policy would go to jail. Happy birthday socialist security. May working people again unite to regain their freedom and make this birthday your last. Sic semper tyranis

I thought SSDI was funded via a 0.9% tax, separate from SS tax.

Wait until you find out that people without kids are forced to pay for other people's kids to be educated. Then there's the dependent deductions.

People with kids are the biggest socialist moochers imaginable. Especially people with more than one kid. It's madness, I says. Madness!

Your post ignores what an insurance policy is in order to rant.

So maybe I shouldn't assume you understand how insurance works?

Then there are those folks that pay tithing, and claim that against their income and taxes, leaving the non-tithe payers to make up the gap in revenues.

Just imagine, I pay home insurance for forty years and never get a cent in return. This other guy buys a home pays insurance for six months and has a terrible fire and gets coverage.

Just think people who become disabled get help. such awful things happen in America.

The Republicans are setting the stage for the next Oklahoma City bombing. Senator Grassley and Fox News are letting viewers know to grab their AK-15s to fend off the horde of IRS troops that are coming for their precious bodily fluids. Republicans are growing new domestic terrorists to bring down America: All in the name of exalting master criminal Donald Trump.
