Stop My Benefits!

[boedicca]

Here's what poor widdle rightwinger fails to GROK.

Taxes for the common infrastructure to which we all have access are far different than Transfer Payments to Spread The Wealth Around.

 

[Political Junky]

I like that Thom Hartmann refers to certain things as the "Commons", and health care should be one of them.

 

[boedicca]

You consider your Health "The Commons"?

Unfrellingbelievable.

Be careful what you wish for. That type of thinking cedes your right to make your health care decisions to The Mob.

Don't you just love how they bring up roads and schools EVERY FUCKING TIME someone talks about taxes? I happen to enjoy trash pickup and police protection as well. I know. Call me a socialist. lol

Social Security is good. Medicare is good. We need to take care of people who can no longer work BECAUSE THEY ARE OLD AND HAVE CONTRIBUTED THEIR PART! People who are young and able bodied NEED TO PAY THEIR OWN FUCKING BILLS!

Sorry for the caps. Getting tired of all this ridiculous socialist nonsense. If you can't find a job, maybe your family can help. That's the way it works in my ethnic culture.

In response to those saying 'How do you know they are Govt. help?'

Well, it could be the fact that at almost every tea party event I see signs saying "Hands off my medicare."

 

[rightwinger]

We all pay for roads via taxes or have you forgotten that? We all pay for schools via taxes. We all pay for Cops, fireman, railroads bridges, libraries etc etc etc via taxes.

The point that obviously went over your head is that we are very close to a point where more people depend on the government than don't

Everyone depends on government THATS the point

One can pay taxes to the government and not depend on it.

One is dependent when takes more from the government than he contributes not when one uses services paid for via taxes.

No you can't. You depend on Government in more ways than you know. For infrastructure, security, transportation, education, clean air and water, safe food, communications.

We live in a society. Some people pay in more than they receive......some less.

But everyone benefits from the society

Go here (Stop My Benefits! I want to give up my government-run, socialist health care benefits) to tell your Congress person you want to voluntarily give up these SOCIALISTIC benefits.

Indeed comrade nothing like that free money !!

Um. Maybe cuz they propose to cut $500 billion? Yeah - I'd say that's probably it.

 

[rightwinger]

The larger question for the tea party protesters is "What government benefits do you receive and are you willing to give them up to balance the budget?"

How many receive Social Security, Medicare, Veterans Benefits??? They are ready to scream about others receiving benefits that they themselves don't need. They already have health insurance. Are they ready to give up some of their own benefits?

 

[chanel]

No one is willing to give up what they have contributed to for years whether they agree with the system or not. Are you?

"Social security is good Medicare is good"
Have you lost your friggin mind. Those 2 programs constitute over half the entire US budget. Unfunded obligations for those two top 60 trillion for this generation alone.
The old contributed a tax so the folks on those entitlements could get their $. Those programs are broke and need to be systematically eliminated over the next 30 years a bit at a time. If you favor those programs you are 100% socialist.

They are screaming in the streets about taxes, deficits, socialism,entitlements..........

But only the ones for OTHER people. LEAVE MY ENTITLEMENTS ALONE

If Tea Party members benefit from a "socialist" program there is nothing wrong with it

 

[chanel]

Sorry bout that. Maybe if there weren't so many hands in the cookie jar, they wouldn't be in such bad shape? In a perfect world, people would save for their own retirement and pay their own health care costs. But they don't. And I would hardly expect a 90 year old man to pay for his nursing home.

I believe in social safety nets for the most vulnerable of citizens - children, elderly, and the disabled. That doesn't make me a socialist sir.

However, I do not believe in handouts for able bodied citizens who CHOOSE to have children out of wedlock or work a seasonal job and collect unemployment all winter. And I do not believe I should help pay for the health insurance or mortgage for my neighbor who is living in a house he can't afford. That's socialism and that's where we're headed.

Perhaps some would like to "opt out". But they should get their contributions back, don't you think?

Entitlements that people contribute to (SS, medicare, unemployment) are not the same as handouts to deadbeats who contribute nothing and you know it, rightwinger. Perhaps we need another name for those "benefits" given to those who have not earned them. Nipples?

 

[sole survivor]

rightwinger assumes I want to drive on roads built and maintained buy corrupt politicians giving kickbacks to union controlled construction companies. Give that shit to private companies and throw up toll booths

The douchebag

Also assumes Im happy with the public schools. Im taxed twice you fuckin idiot because i I wouldnt let my children step into a place where there teach the normalcy of being a travansvest or hermaphro

dite

Give me my cash back and I assure you I find a better way of spending it than clowns like you

Here's the problem with your thinking: Most adults alive today entered the workforce after these mandatory programs were put in place. We have been forced to pay taxes for "retirement" and "health care" insurance.

I would prefer to opt out, if given a choice, and have my payments go into my own defined contribution accounts.

Your sneering that we are clinging to entitlements when WE HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR THEM shows the corruption of your philosophy in which nothing is earned, it is only the gift of the state.

Your payments into Social Security and medicare are less than you paid into the system. Thus, they are entitlements . Tea Party protesters should be asking for a delay in benefits to help the country they claim to love so much

Ok, I've read enough. Social Security is not welfare, you earn it and pay into it. Medicare is not welfare, you pay into it or you don't get it. Veterans Benefits are earned, they are not welfare. I will gladly give up every government benefit that I didn't earn or pay for. And that would total none.

Everything I get I earned and or paid into. And that my dear leftist fools is not socialism.

Just trying to be a little honest here. The people protesting are complaining about benefits that will be available to others. They all have healthcare....yet scream that others may get healthcare. They protest Goernment provided healthcare...but love their Medicare and Veterans benefits

No problem. Just give me your social security number and I'll be happy to stop all benefits you are currently receiving.
