2. This will destroy them
it might not hurt the republican party, because Americans are really gullible and will continue to listen to Faux news, but it will end ever single person, who votes for that bullshit, career.

4. I doubt it. God, guns, and taxes.
That's what the core values of Republican voters are. They might lose a degree of the elder vote, but even then, the core 3 will carry the day.

3. I guess with all the jobs Boner is creating this is perfectly fine. Hell, he's probably

creating enough jobs to keep everyone quite well fully employed into their 80's. Short of that, with the incredible salaries today, I'm sure everyone is putting away at least $50k/yr for retirement. Yeah, we're all doing great!

8. And much like the tax cuts for the rich, Obama will hand them their heart's desire,
On a silver platter, tied with a pretty red bow.

11. Fine. Let no one be able to access their money
other than enough income to meet their needs until they are seventy. By their needs, I mean enough but no more. I don't think this will be very popular.
