What?! Jesus!, do we need any further proof of Trumps mental state? This quote, from batshit crazy Trump, which make no sense at all to any sane person: "We have a very corrupt country. Very corrupt country. And it's a sad thing to say ... if you take all of those millions of people off social security, all of the sudden we have a very powerful social security." is ironic. This is probably the first time since Homo sapiens walked on Earth that the person responsible for unrelenting corruption has, apparently willingly, called attention to their achievement. The Donald seems very proud of his "accomplishment", even though he uncharacteristically failed to give himself a pat on the back by adding, "Only I could have achieved such monumental corruption!"
Of course they can. They'll be required to, unless they are independently wealthy and don't need to work. And they'll get the Soc. Sec. benefits they're entitled to because they pay in just as all the rest of us do.
hee hee hee ha ha ha hah. This can't be true, but if it is, it's a sad day in America that there is one too many medivac helicopters.
Is there some fraud in the social security system? Yes. That fraud is insignificant compared to what congress has been doing since the mid 60's which is stealing all the money to fund wars and every other God damn thing they can think of. And then we had that retard Reagan giving the thumbs up to taxing benefits. Once again we see our criminally corrupt government is the root cause of the problem.
Until these ignorant policies are actually tested they remain merely theoretical and the zealots who spew them remain convinced "they could work". Probably futile, I admit, since leaders apparently did not learn the lesson of Brownback's Kansas experiment. But the citizens did, and that's my hope for America. So long as we can preserve democracy we can try these experiments and teach the generations why they don't work.
I'll add my opinion that today corporations ARE government. The old, convenient separation (which protected the rentier class by means of diversion) is gone.
