To all of those complaining, imagine all the people who contributed to the system, but died before they could collect anything. Be grateful you are still alive to collect.

You mean like ....

Kathryn "Kate" Steinle?
Iryna Zarutska?
Riley Laken?

people like them?

Federal Law does NOT SPECIFICALLY state that the government can keep Social Security taxes and never pay them back.

It most certainly does, Flemming v. Nestor, 1960 established that citizens have no contractual right to benefits.

I blame his ESL teacher.

This is funny I site SCOTUS, you have nothing.

A report by Reuters in February 2022 found more than 200 examples of school board members being harassed or threatened. Some even received death threats targeting them or family members.

There are 80,000 school board members across the country, 200+ harassments and threats is a typical year.

There is little to no actual proof there was an increase, because no one studies it.

Its just feelz. But what the government did wasn't.

Aren't you scheduled to bite Oneironaut's ankles at this time in the evening?

Alexa is like a mosquito. He's waiting for the wind to die down.

#22,#23, #24 -> These are just deflection from dealing with a border overrun by US enemies.

You'd NEVER accept ANY amount of proof so it's a circular discussion.

DeflectionDan thinks the US had no debt but was running a Surplus in 2000 under Clinton. And that all the $40+ Trillion has been added because of Bush, and Trump.

Pretty incredible really.

He's horrible at accepting data, and even worse at arithmetic. What he describes as "Math" is really just Arithmetic.

Employers that are chuckin and jivin ... don't produce products LOVE them powerpoints, and with AI ... the more the better.

"These universities are overwhelmingly left wing employment agencies, borderline monopolistically."

Overstating much?

No, I don't think he is..

You also said they wouldn't Attack the East West Pipeline Again.....

idk why anyone would say that, seems like an easy target, hard to defend.

As Doc Says, give it Strategic time.

This is what I say about Islam in general. Western world is collapsing on itself.

You want to blame the other team, I get it, but you need to look at the whole.

Those, in your mind, are examples of Generations?

Yes, they are the whiniest of the whiniest generation. No President or presidential candidate has ever whined more than those two. Boomers will forever be known as the whiniest and most irresponsible.

Its such a horrible and spoiled generation.

Have you ever even tried to post something relevant?

Have you? You ask an irrelevant question, then complain about my posting relevant responses.

And this ESL dropout teaching us American history? That's always good for a laugh.

Corky never has a valid point just ad-hominem attack, pretty worthless really.

Payroll taxes are regressive, and upper limits on income for taxing SS is obscene when millionaires and billionaires already pay less as a percentage of their income.

All this would do is kick the can down the road. If raising the limit you would need to raise the payouts.

The tell is that it's not the poor taking the higher payouts over time, it's the "rich", retiring early and taking SS at 62.

Why not limit SS to those that never earned more than the median income?

Given the structure of SS there's no way it won't consume the country.

Not to forget about the ACA..... thats killing families, while Corky sucks up cheap Medicare, and in CA illegal immigrants get FREE healthcare.

Personally, I'm going to start blaming 1Nut's Gen for tic-toc and doom scrolling... not mention celebrity incels.

Doomscrolling? LOL Of course when you're destroying the country other people are doomscrolling.

FFS Just look at DialAgain for a perfect example of a doomscroller, all he complains about it Trump, never a critique with a solution.

And now, when a Dem and a Repub lawmaker want to try to make adjustments, he's going to cry about that.

Adjustments are like putting lipstick on a pig. Given the structure of SS there's no way it won't consume the country.

Which one is the whiniest?

Its a toss up between Trump & Hillary, but why deflect, is it because you got nothing else other than TDS?

"Social Security is a core component of our nation's promise " a covenant between the federal government and Americans who pay into it throughout their working years so they can retire with dignity."

Great line of BS....

It was never a promise, the LAW specifically states the Federal Gov can keep the SS taxes if it wants too and NEVER pay it back.

If it was a promise then the government should have invested it, but that was never the point. FDR, other than interning the Japanese, was the worst president in US history, bankrupted her while she was in her prime.

The seeds of the collapse were sown.

I'm "the Left". Why don't you tell me what I'm up to?

Zed finally admits he's a useful idiot.

I can't imagine what Bellringer is talking about

the first responsibility of a US president is to protect the American people.

Really where were you in 2021 through 2024?

The report, which encompasses Fiscal Years 2021 through 2024, reveals that under Joe Biden, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) received 3,145,375 leads about possible alien overstays. Of that amount, 104,049 (approximately 3.3%) were categorized as potential national security and public safety concerns.

But of the leads for possible national security threats, only 496 investigations were launched, resulting in the arrest of just eight aliens. The remaining 3,041,326 overstay leads (96.7%) were determined to be "Non-Priority." Of the 2,837,188 Non-Priority leads that were sent to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO), only five leads were investigated after being determined to be possible public safety threats, and with only two arrests being made.

right wing employment agency, and many programs of a social nature are being cut.

Why does cutting a "social program" mean its right-wing?

It could just be ineffective? Look at the homeless spending, are you declaring it needs more money?

What about ~$35,000 per student spending for k-12, while teachers earn peanuts? Do you think its money or structural?

This knee jerk reaction that any funding cut/freeze is a NAZI plot is hilarious, and doesn't fix anyone's problem.

Northwestern is the cherry on top.

The top 2% or so in the US have about 53% of the total wealth/assets of the US.

Also, this appear to be a false statement, iits 38-42%, when you're trying to correct someone don't be wrong. You look stupider than the person you're calling stupid..

And the distribution really hasn't changed at least since the 90s ... with all the new taxes and all the new regulations ... what has changed is the scale.

Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, The Walton Family, the Koch's, BUY policy through political donations and open Corruption.

I have stated as such for quite sometime, no one wants the hear how congressmen get rich with such frequency.

Only when Trump does it do they get upset.

This isn't about wealth this is about greed, and jealousy. Taking what isn't yours, showing power of over the "rich."

But really it will just make them wealthier, and hurts those at the bottom. Thats all regulations and taxation seem to do at this point, add more the administration of the revenue, friction locking out newcomers, and in theend not end up helping the people.

Newsom signed 7000 laws, does CA need 7000 more laws in the books, was it that ------ up? Did it solve anything it claimed?

For instance NGO's can't solve the reason they exist, or else they would need to disappear, so its absorbed as payroll by the organization itself.
This is true across all bureaucratic systems.

Concentration of Assets is about Power,POLITICAL Power.

Exactly always has been, thats why they print more $$$$ not to help you, but increase the wealth of those that have it.

When the US went through the housing bust the only cities that weren't affected was WashingtonDC. Taxing them won't solve the issue you think it will.

There will always be someone with 0, printing more money just makes the distribution more skewed, unless you want everyone to be the same, then you have everyone in poverty.

The top 2% or so in the US have about 53% of the total wealth/assets of the US.

So what?

Understand more money doesn't mean more even distribution.

The more the US prints the greater the inequality the will exist. You can't fix this.

Again you're just greedy, you can't accept your greediness so you call people stupid.
