Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

but morons elected him anyways.

My opinion: The government needs to adjust the payroll taxes and/or increase the age of benefits.

Yes, it will! By increasing taxes and extending the age of benefit will surely correct the problems. I can't help it if you don't have simple math skills.

Cory Booker is a bigot. No other conclusion can be drawn from his appalling hounding of, and effort publicly to humiliate, Mike Pompeo for Pompeo’s fidelity to historic Christian teaching on sexual morality and marriage. By Booker’s ideological standard, no faithful Catholic, Orthodox Jew, Bible-believing Protestant, Qa’ran believing Muslim, or other individual who holds to traditional norms of sexual ethics should be permitted to serve in public office. We must not become accustomed to tolerating bigotry of the sort Booker has flagrantly put on display in this case. It needs to be called out and condemned by all reasonable people of goodwill.

Simple math skills? What skills did you show, you showed you can repeat the same old crap, "increase taxes"! When a liberal program starts to fail, you think you can always save it by raising taxes. How about we move past an out dated system that doesn't fit our modern day economy. Just like pensions, SS is going to die due to a modern economy that is outpacing old promises.

How is it outdated?

Since the program is based on taxing people and then using that money to pay other people, why won't raising taxes solve the problem?

I agree that taxes shouldn't be raised too high. But there is still a lot of room to raise taxes on the rich without causing them too much pain.

With the right tax increase just think of all the powerful weapons systems that we could equip our military with (and keep Social Security solvent at the same time).

It was setup up during a different time in our history, when there was only 2 ways to retire, save money or have a pension from an employer, and not many companies were offering those. If you worked a farm, which was a majority of the population until WWII, then it was only what you could save on you own. That isn't the case in 2018.

The program was based on taxing a great # of people to provide retirement for the few. When the program started, there were roughly 40 workers contributing 1 persons retirement. Now we are down below 3 workers per retiree, increasing taxes won't fix the problem and neither will adding more "workers" to the work force, because eventually those people will work long enough to retire on SS as well.

Pfft. I'm sorry, but I don't think the rich and their pocket books should be used for every cause the masses think is necessary.

I don't want to use them to prop up a broken system, I want to see the system changed to fit our modern economy, stocks, IRA's 401k's and the other types of retirement accounts.

If it's good enough for the wealthy, why isn't it good enough for us,

There is no such thing as the "right tax increase", it's a plague on our society.

Just this morning I heard that Denver is looking to increase the taxes on pot. It's already 25% and they want an increase so they can invest in low cost housing in the Denver area. What??? They have already broken and destroyed the original taxing and spending purpose of the legalization law, and even changed parts of tabor for their special projects.

I didn't take you as a tax and spend thief like the rest of them here on A2K.
