When we win I, as your President, will totally forgive ALL deferred payroll taxes with money from the General Fund. I will ALWAYS protect Seniors and your Social Security! Sleepy Joe Biden will do the opposite, he will raise your taxes and DESTROY our Country!
===========================================
I am so personally offended and disgusted that that thing polluted my state with his superspreader bullshit that I feel like I need to take a shower. Now I've got to be a fucking shut-in for the next 3 weeks just so I don't come into contact with any of those vile lemmings who insisted on following Dear Leader right over a cliff.
I need a drink.

(25,244 posts)There should have been a bunch of ads by Dems saying that Trump and the Repugs will destroy Social Security.
Instead - you get Trump to put out a tweet about SS - saying only he can protect SS and he accuses Biden will destroy it.
He beat the Dems to the punch and now Biden and the Dems will have to defend themselves.
I think this was a missed opportunity. Too bad.

Personally, if it werent for everyone freaking out, wed probably be better off funding SS through general taxes, assuming legislation is airtight (and GOPer) tight. I know people will freak, but around 2032 or so we are going to see an automatic cut of 23%, maybe more.
