3. Change? Don't you mean destroy?
I despise this man andf his ilk and the people who supported him.

Any of my family who voted for him are going to be persona non grata to me until they see the error of their ways.

And I do NOT have republican friends.

4. I remembered when he first said it
I don't think a lot of people understands the severity of him trying to do this, ESPECIALLY the idiots that voted for him. Whenever I hear about this, I think about the savings and loan scandals in the 80's.

6. Shit, Bush and the Republicans said they would privatize social security
But, once everyone realized how bad that was, suddenly it was an outrageous, unfounded attack to say that Bush wanted to privatize it.

7. I was too angry to post about this earlier.
A pox on him and the money grifters who will rob the SS fund. Fuck them. I hope they all die of incurable diseases brought on by the pollution they cause.

9. Because I really am not into the philosphy of killing.
I live in the country and although things killing things comes with the territory, I have a real problem taking anything out, even though it's necessary at times. I cringed with the sudden rush for killing Osama and Uday and Kusay and everyone else they kill with impunity. I find it awful. I hate to even think like I did about my post you answered, but they are driving people like me to it.

10. I'm not talking about killing them.
I'm talking about giving them enough rope to kill themselves with.

12. Well, if history keeps repeating itself like before, they will.
Look at what happened to the Nazis when the end came. Those who didn't kill each other committed suicide.

15. As always they are lying and calling it a retirement fund.
This opens the door to mislead people. SS is an insurance policy. Of course it wont perform like a retirement fund but a young persons survivors will not have the protection offered by SS. It is the same with MSAs, you are gambling youwill have a healthy period of your early years.
