1. Honor thy father and mother--not just for individuals but for nations |
|
Social Security--a question of dignity for when time has taken so much.

I've been trying to come up with a simple phrase on SS to use as a window sticker in my car. This may be it!

preventing financial disaster when companies lie to you about how great they are.
Mother In Law Insurance: making sure she'll have an income floor so that she won't be forced to move in with you.
Clean Streets Insurance: making sure our streets are uncluttered by all the elderly sleeping in doorways and eating out of your garbage cans.

6. Well, that's really what lies behind my meme, anyway. |

Family value in this case turns their own language against them, and takes it for what Social Security really does; allow the elderly to live on their own for as long as their physical and mental faculties allow. It helps to preserve their dignity and yes, preserves families.

7. I completely agree, but we're out to frame the debate… |
|
…and generic slogans are well-worn and familiar. You've got to get visceral.
