Next time you run into some right-wing geezer, ask him if he's collecting social security

[eauclaireliberal]

If he (or she) says yes, ask them why they feel they are entitled to it. It is another government handout, is it not? He should be so outraged that he should send it back, right?

Right?

1. Oh that's bad!

I am calling my right wing stepfather right now! :evilgrin:

2. Not a handout

It's a federally-sponsored pension and disability insurance program.

We all pay into the Social Security fund. The average worker kicks in about 10% of each paycheck.

--p!

3. yep. bad analogy.

SS is a different kettle of fish.

5. It's worse than a simple handout - it's pure solcialism.

4. Not even a RW geezer, but a co-worker ...

who works FOR THE GOVERNMENT, is in a union, goes to the VA, and has collected on the Agent Orange admission.

Go figure ...

Oh, and he was an involuntary participant in the Vietnam conflict ...
