The Big Bad Wolf.
SSI is not a ponzi scam. It works sorta like a retirement account. The only problem is the tax cap. Remove that..and you have no problem. Not removing it..will create a problem in 2 decades or so. It's very sustainable. To bad the Secessionist fails to recognize that.
It doesn't work "like a retirement account". A retirement account, I put money in, and it's there when I retire. Ponzi Security, I put money in, and it is immediately paid to old people who usually have used up everything they paid in by 72, it goes to rich old "snowbirds" who have enough money to have two homes and commute between locations. It goes to crackheads who are claiming to be "disabled". The rest is converted into government bonds to cover up all the other ways government finds to waste money.
Oh, yeah, it's sustainable, if you tax people at 30% instead of the current 12% people pay now.
And President Obama wound up breaking relations with Wright..when that all came out. Didn't have much of an effect on the election, anyways. Most people recognized that those were not the views of candidate Obama.
Well, more like, the media was too busy reporting on his Ipad and how the First Wookie keeps her legs so tone. Seriously, Joe the Plumber got more of a vetting than these people did.
People realized by 2010 what a bill of goods they'd been sold with this guy.
The Secessionist has not disavowed anything Hagee or Benefiel has said.
Because no one cares about what Hagee says. Hagee has been praised for his support of Israel.
If you believe in God (and I don't, really), they you have to believe he had some reason to allow Hitler to do what he did. Hagee's position is a pretty clear interpretation of the bible. In book after book, the people sin, neglect God, and God sends some nasty person to deal with them.
If you guys really want to drag out Hagee (which you did back in 2008 with McCain), then we can drag out Wright and beat him up some more. Wright will happily rise to the bait, I'm sure.
It's lovely that you characterize people that put in 30-40 years of labor as "snowbirds" and "crackheads". I hope the Secessionist uses that sort of imagery.
And Hagee and Benefiel will be dragged out because of Wright. It was conservatives that made a big deal of guilt by association. The Hitler thing is not going to be an easy sell to the General Electorate.
Yeppers..the Secessionist should have an easy time of it. Let's see:
-He wants to get rid of SSI and Medicare.
-He wants to cut taxes on the wealthy.
-If Texas is a template, then his Jobs program with include using federal money to lard up the energy and defense sectors. The rest should be picked up with minimum wage jobs.
-He's going to eviserate education funding and introduce religion doctrine to public schools.
-He will introduce more religion into government.
Yeah..winning combination there..by gumption!
