Shouldn't Cons burn their SS cards?

[booley]

For years we have heard a familiar if rather baseless plenti-plaint screed by conservatives as to our social safety net.

Medicare is BROKE!

Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme!

The government assistance is actually a plot to enslave you!

Hell, Even Reagan said that Medicare would lead to a totalitarian state complete with communist control over doctors.

So.. why then do they continue to feed into and benefit from a system they clearly think is an evil and unworkable ponzi scheme mean to enslave them in a hyper conformist socialist system?

Yes rhetorical question here. But lets ask cons.

In other words, why not ask cons if they really hate the Social safety Net, then why are they not burning their Social Security cards the way anti- war protesters in the 60s burned their draft cards?

We should demand that every tea bagger over 65 proclaim publicly to never use Medicare.

IF they don't like the FICA tax, they can do what many modern anti-war protesters do today and subtract it from their tax returns as a form of protest.

So I call on every DUer to help tea baggers and conservatives show us they aren't' full of shit and aren't benefiting from the "evil socialist conspiracy" that is the Social Safety Net.

Tell them to Burn their S.S. Cards!

1. I'm guessing they'll tell you that they paid into it.

2. But if it's a plot to enslave them ...

Then "having paid into it" doesn't work as an excuse.

IF it's broke and they won't benefit, then that doesn't make any sense because clearly they are benefitting.

And as I said, they could do a tax protest, subtracting the amount taken as FICA from their claimed income.

3. Ask them and get back to us.

7. your headline caught me off guard.

I wasn't thinking S.S. meant Social Security. Mentioning Conservatives and S.S., I immediately thought you meant The S.S. (Schutzstaffel) of the Nazi Party. When will Conservatives burn their Nazi S.S. membership cards?

8. Me too

:rofl:

[booley]

11. Yeah sorry

I can see how one might see cons and S.S. and think nazis.

Sorry about that.

9. Can't. It's what makes them better than the "illegals". Without an SS card, they have nothing.
