I can understand how Medicare can be viewed as an entitlement but how is Social Security one? People and their employers pay into it.

With Medicare many people are using more services than they pay for, that I understand.

Vote them all out and let's remove lobbying and special interests. Get the corruption out of Washington. Let's cut spending and social programs, reduce taxes and make it so that education and hard work are rewarded and not punished.

Of course no mention of cutting the "defense" budget, raising taxes on the wealthy....nah, just stick it to the working class.

There are very few people in Congress truly working for the people.
Vote them out!

They could care less about the working class.
As long as Big Business is bribing them/contributing to their campaigns...they're going to get what they want.
Do you realize whats happening in Greece and the amount of debt we are in?

I have never heard of a right winger refuse to take an 'entitlement " when offered ranging from a Medicaid payment to a small business "loan" to a mega bank bailout. The right wing loves to take government money so long as they don't have to pay taxes.

Just the I, ME and MINE generation in action.

Indeed, it is time to “vote them out” and turn our country over to the Democrats.

fb likes to kid a lot. He was even quoted as hypothesizing that VATs would only be enforced for registered Republicans. Very definition of troll.

Why bother with savings or investing when you will lose your money to inflation or a market crash anyway? Use your money to buy and maintain only the stuff you really need and that will outlast you.

Yeah, vote them out and put in the people who champion Medicare/Social Security as an evil ponzi scheme (Limbaugh's talking points), while leading the country into these 2 wars we have to foot, and those who actively vote in the interests of big business.

That will certainly help out a ton with unfunded liabilities and deficit.
