FDR gave us social security which saved a lot of people from poverty. What's wrong with being on the left if left wing policies can keep people from dire poverty?
It's only been one lifetime since FDR foisted this on EVERYONE. And the "premium" has gone up from 4% of salary to 12%. The caps have jacked sky-high. Congress STOLE $TRILLS from the fictional Trust Fund and Obama is now stealing FICA premiums so that he can give the little guy (who doesn't pay anything into the General Fund) a tax break.
The FEDS have demonstrated a complete INABILITY to manage and run a program like this. Current TAXPAYERS (who pay INCOME TAX --- a rare breed) are gonna have to pay TWICE for the stolen SS Surpluses plus DOUBLE interest. While the 47% pays NOTHING for the larceny.
Democrats want to turn FDR UNIVERSAL program into just another entitlement by raising the caps further and having 1/2 the folks take a loss on the program.
FDR would come at you from the grave with a meat cleaver if he ever saw what has happened to his creation.. And YOU FOLKS are never gonna talk us into UNIVERSAL ANYTHING ever again...
