There is a good chance that you will also receive more in Medicare beni's then you paid in. Would you support a pure voluntary system so that rich people do not have to pay into SSI or Medicare? I doubt you do. I would bet that you support the rich paying into the system but not allowing them to get a penny.

Casper.
Defending yourself from being labeled a racist by the bigots in the media and politicians does not make you a racist.

Geez, you guys want a self fulfilling prophecy, you want to use the race card on people, and then when someone defends themselves from the race card you want it to prove the legitimacy of your using the race card.

Show me where I have ever used the race card, I will be waiting.
Show me where anyone has been labeled a racist without having made a racist remark on this board, I will be waiting for that also.
Truth is the right claims that the race card is used all the time, yet when asked for proof of anyone doing it here they never can, can YOU?

You're more intelligent than this. This has got to be dumbest thing you've ever posted.

make a racist remark, you're a racist
drink too much one night, you're a drunk
tell a lie, you're a liar

I'm doing what you said in your post. Show proof the right claims the race card is used all the time.

Curious, have you made some posts where you call someone out for claiming the Tea Party is racist or claiming black Tea Party supporters uncle toms? Otherwise it will continue to look like you are playing one side of the fence and you'll loose credibility.

I'm doing what you said in your post. Show proof the right claims the race card is used all the time. No you did not answer the question by showing me the proof. It was done on THIS thread, go back and see what I replied to to begin this off-topic discussion.

Curious, have you made some posts where you call someone out for claiming the Tea Party is racist or claiming black Tea Party supporters uncle toms? Otherwise it will continue to look like you are playing one side of the fence and you'll loose credibility.
I have stated more than once that I do not believe the Tea Party is a racist organization, I HAVE said that there are racists within the group, but that is true of EVERY group. I have NEVER used the term "uncle tom" here or anywhre else in my life. You do not know me if you actually think I care what people think of me, I post on the issues as I see them. I do not care one bit which side of the fence I am standing on when I do so, meaning that I have some conservative leaning opinions and I have Liberal opinions on other issues.
Now as for your first comment, if it is so dumb then you should have NO problem finding several posts here within minutes to prove what I said was incorrect. Still waiting for someone to do that.
