How do you feel about McConnell calling for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid cuts after passing a 1.5 trillion tax cut for the top 1%?
Is American Social Security not paid to give some level of financial help in times of need?
Social Security is taken out of every worker's paycheck. If you don't work, you can't draw funds from it, (widows, widowers, etc. are the exception). Social Security is not an "entitlement" as the Republicans keep saying. It is not theirs to give away. Each of you has individual accounts you’ve paid into for decades. That’s why your “benefit” is predicated on your contributions. This is your money, not a handout. Many Americans rely on this income to live on when they retire (albeit a small one) or income to live on if they become disabled. It is all the retirement income many have.
By cutting Social Security to reduce the debt (caused by tax cuts for the rich), is this not money flowing from the general population up to the rich?
Actually, is this not theft...
Is there a Republican brave enough to answer this question for me?
