Social Security

[Muley Hunter]

You do know that entitlements are socialist programs?

Take a pick. You can't have it both ways.

 

[Old Smoke]

SS is not an entitlement in the same vein as welfare other gov programs the bottom feeders need to stay alive.  SS is the money my employer and I both paid in and I now have a right to receive.  It is a program that should never have been created, but since it does exist I'd like to get out the money I put in it.

 

[Muley Hunter]

It's still a government run program just like medicare.

Bernie's other programs are no different.

 

[Old Smoke]

Yes, unfortunately the gov takes my earnings and has promised to give it back.   It will be much much less than if I had been "allowed" to manage my own money, but there you have what the gov usually does for you.  

Free stuff for everybody.  Yes, ol' Bernie is a socialist leaning toward being a communist.  Pure and simple.  Take from those who have worked for it and give to those who have not.  God help us.

Amen.

I can't believe you think Cruz is a better choice? The only worse choice in a Rep would be Trump.

Kasich is not bad.

 

[Old Smoke]

Anyone that would oppose the pro-abortion, pro-homo, pro-socialist, anti-freedom, anti-COTUS,anti-American Democrats is good with me.  And, yes, I find Cruz quite acceptable.  Trump is a brilliant man but no where near POTUS material for a great many reasons.  Kasich is a good man, but no leader.

Arguing politics is akin to arguing the virtues of truck stop road whores. Neither party is any damn good.

LOL! :lol: Awesome.

I won't vote for Trump. I won't vote for Cruz. I won't vote for Carson 
(Seriously, the man's mind is a bag full of cats! Eek!)

I am considering Kasich, but not settled. 

It is tiresome having to vote against the lesser evil all the time. I am an 
Independent. If the Republicans continue the clown show, IDK what I will 
do. 

I will do my best to select the best I can for the country. I trust all of 
you will do the same.

PS. I have a lot of friends who are Republican. I have a lot of friends who 
are Democrats. It is uncomfortable for me to hear them calling each other 
names because they disagree about what is right for the country. I do not 
think it healthy for any of us.

Unfortunately Colonel, since you are an Independent, you only get to express your choice in the last election not in the primary.

I registered as a Democrat because our rural county always used to vote democratic. The sheriff's race was already decided when the general election rolled around. Now the county has a bunch of retirees that vote republican so the situation is reversed. I never switched because I realized that they are all crooks and it didn't matter locally. However, it does matter to me nationally so I vote for the pro-gun candidate if there is one.

You vote for the pro gun candidate if there is one. The NRA did that with Harry Reid. I don't like Harry Reid and I trust him about as far as I can throw the earth. I agree with Falcon and I have already said it, politicians suck and there all in it for themselves. I think its time to start over. Al

Why is it that we always hear SS is going broke....but we never hear about WELFARE PROGRAMS going broke???????? I was FORCED to pay into it for 60 years and I want my return investment! WELFARE folks haven't paid a dime!!
