New Social Security bill

You and VT don't like the fact that I call you out over the fact that you talk the conservative talk but are not willing to forsake social programs in defense of those convictions instead embracing what can only be described as selective conservatism due to the fact that your future reliance on them will have an enormous impact on the quality of your life during your final years. And don't give me this "well, I paid into them BS". Because imagine what it would be like for you if we evil socialist communist pinko liberals were not able to overcome bitter conservative opposition and get them passed into law.
This is why I find selective conservatives and pseudo conservatives so amusing. They constantly express their highly vocal anger and outrage over the very social programs that we see them signing up for in the end.
It's one of the reasons you don't hear much out of the Tea Party these days. The older members of the party were all for cutting government spending until they discovered that it also meant cutting Medicare and Medicaid.
You missed the point ... we are laughing at you for thinking you are so smart when in reality you can’t discern the difference between a welfare program and forced Social Insurance.

You are a very smart guy so even if we laugh at you now, there is still hope for you.

So where are they going to attack us at? When we fought them in Korea it was in their backyard. Pretty easy to keep supplied. Think about the logistics of trying to invade the U.S.. And without the equivalent navy or air force there's no way they're getting through us with their army.
Y’all have got to stop taking lessons from @bbsam!
He does not understand the relationship between quoting and a relevant post to that quote.

Hahaha OK. Now can you tell me the difference between SOCIALISM and so called SOCIAL INSURANCE. Van Texan invented that term and I'm still waiting for him to explain the definition of the term "social insurance".

You were an entirely different party when Social Security was created. And for the millionth time, it's social insurance. You benefit greatly from capitalism but want full blown socialism. For some odd reason you believe life will be great when we all have equal outcomes and a government that insures that. Has never worked. Look at bbsam. He's hot for socialism but he won't set an example by paying his employees the same as him. I could go the same route as you and say you, he, and the rest are a bunch of hypocrites. The fact is we're all struggling to get by but it's better than having nothing at all with no real incentives to achieve and do better for ourselves. This utopian fantasy of your's is dangerously close to being implemented because our future leaders are being indoctrinated. And when it goes to hell what then?

Didn't invent it, read a very good book on Social Security that explained a lot. Social insurance spreads the risks of growing old amongst the entire working population. Young adults today may not see the benefit but they'll realize it when their body falls apart.

Wow that's a real funny rant against socialism coming from a guy who supports socialist security.

That’s why his nickname is Slumdog (gonna be a) Millionaire.
He is a money pinching Capitalist that pays his employees almost nothing.
His conscience is bothering him so he fools himself by desiring Socialism while he makes his money in the sweatshop FedEx Ground business.

You should move to Rome, you can be the guy that the pope touches the feet of to show humility. Smh.
