dismantling social programs is to free up money for congress |

retirement - our taxes pay their salaries which they increase by $4000 every year - they get complete health care and retirement on us - they want all the money from social programs to support themselves
this is not about ownership society - they live off of us

1. everyone lives off of us |

Why shouldn't they have to invest in their own retirement, pay their own health care if they decide to retire early, then go on medicare and pay their own supplemental insurance like everyone else? What about a freeze on their raises?
Now here's another question. We have a decent medical coverage, but no dental. Lots of people don't have medical coverage. So then why do our taxes go toward programs to help other people get medical and dental coverage, when we lack coverage ourselves?
Not only do the people on top live off us, we are the ones who come to the aid of the people who are impoverished.
