Trump and the Republican war on Social Security

[mudwhistle]

Social Security was created because dumbass people couldnt save enough to retire on, so big government was there to save the day. Then in the 1990s Bill Clinton in 1992 saw an opportunity to save Social Security by taxes Social Security more of seniors dumb enough not to have saved more of their own money, so people started to be asked "do you want to eat this week or get your prescription drugs". Even Tom Daschle Democrat leader said his poor mother "had to eat cat food some days" because her prescription drug costs well exceed her SS income. Tom, buddy, you are speaker of the house, yet let your mom eat cat food? So now, President Trump offers to have Social Security income "TAX FREE", so retirees get to keep more of that income, so they can live better in the 29% inflation that Biden/Harris allowed during their admin.

What do the scales say?

Vote for Harris for more inflation.....Or Vote for President Trump who will let you keep more of your money, while bringing down prices.

Part of the reason dumb-ass people can't save is because every single time a Democrat gets in the White House they drive up the cost of living on purpose.

How can you save for retirement if you have to borrow to be able to buy anything?

Tax anything over $100,000,000.00 at 50-70%. One hundred million dollars a year is plenty for anyone to live on forever.

You don't get to decide how much someone can earn Dem Nazi.

Yet then when a Republican gets into office, those same dumbass people are out buying large screen TVs, new cars, and partying like there is no tomorrow. Then when tomorrow comes, they are then complaining that their Social Security checks arent going as far....

My grandmother lived to be 102. Far exceeded her expectations on how long her life was, and eventually her kids had to help with her assisted living.

I wish he'd get rid of social security. God damn ponzi scheme cooked up by boomers to siphon wealth from younger folks like me. Pretty rich considering how often they call younger people, "lazy and entitled." Luckily, like all ponzi schemes, its collapse is a matter of when, not if.

Cooked up by boomers? Did you learn that in school?

Social security started in 1935.

Keep people working longer so the precious corporatists have a workforce right?

So it seems. They raised retirement age again just a few years back, if I'm not mistaken. Most people my age have given up any hope of ever seeing a cent of that money.

Au contraire, President Trump intends to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits, making the program MORE of a benefit to us old farts.

You pay tax on your Social Security?

How much money to you MAKE.

Very few people pay that tax because they don’t make enough money.

Oh and by the way… that loss of money makes SS less solvent over time

Actually,people start paying tax on their social security when they have a modest income of $25,000, hardly a king's ransom.

The vast majority of people meet those criteria.

No, tax on SS benefits starts at 32k for a couple filing jointly.

The Social Security scandal Trump doesn’t want you to know about

Trump’s favorite proposals could bankrupt this vital, popular program within six years.

www.msnbc.com

Since its inception Republicans have fought to do away with Social Security, the bedrock retirement program for the middle class and low income Americans. And, Trump's goal to tax the middle class and lower income citizens, certainly does no favors for Social Security. In fact his economic ideas, loved by Republicans who "like his policies," will bankrupt the program sooner rather than later.

The obvious solution, and the only fair one to keep the program solvent, is to increase payroll taxes by eliminating the present cap on payroll taxes on earnings. And, why shouldn't the wealthy pay their fair share as the rest of us have had to do? So what if they have to buy a cheaper yacht, or fewer Rolex watches or fewer country club memberships. They should support the American economy the same as the hard working middle and lower classes.

Bigly!!!

This is the funny part of MAGAts electing Trump and Project 2025.
We've already seen this endgame in history.
These MAGAts think concentration camps for their perceived "enemies" (brown skinned folks) is a good idea....but they fail to understand that this is just how it begins.
Once the deportation (and "liquidation") machinery is perfected, soon it will accomodate other sub groups of "undesireables."
Seniors
The disabled (including veterans)
The homeless
The poor and unemployed,
And anybody else deemed "unproductive" and "a drain on society."
Including many, many of the very people who voted for this shit.

The other obvious solution is keeping Trump out of the WH.

Or you could find out the facts about SS.
