I'm glad though that we have other anoption:
Medicare for Some, miniature American flags for others!

Trump will work to defund social security if re-elected. This maniac must be removed.

Anyone who enacts policies that are directly or indirectly detrimental to a program that benefits millions of Americans (especially programs that benefit that sick, infirm, elderly, injured etc.) should not be removed but absolutely should be voted out for the betterment of society as a whole.

That maniac is the only thing between LiveUrban and communism. If Biden is elected this county will resemble Venezuela in ten years or less. Once the country if flooded with illegals who get free health care and your guns are gone, your property seized, your bank account drained, you will be standing long food lines.
This is exactly what the leftist want, your town will turn into Portland and Seattle with never ending looting and riots. A vote for Biden is a vote for the destruction of America. Think it can't/won't happen? Neither did the population of Venezuela, once the most prosperous country's in the world. Marxist brainwashed their citizens just as they are brainwashing ours. Laugh now but remember this warning while standing in the bread lines.. Then you can explain to your starving children that you played a part in the destruction of America..

Vote for Biden or for for America... Mobs or jobs, your choice.

He *may*, kind of like those tax returns he said he might share after he won the election in 2016?

The Obama 2010-2011 payroll tax reduction had NO effect on the SS trust fund. Why? Because the bill passed by Congress authorized that funds be taken from the general account to keep full funding for SS.

Would Obama’s payroll tax cut hurt Social Security?

The current and proposed FICA tax cuts don’t directly affect the long-term health of Social Security, because the revenue that normally flows direct to the Social Security Trust Fund is being reimbursed out of general revenue.

They can rob their children, which is what they do everytime they initiate another one of their worthless programs. Remember their high rise public housing projects that turned into Ghettos. Democrats, everthinv they touch turns to shet
