Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison on Saving Social Security

[toolman1900]

POLITICIANS WITH NO SKIN IN THE GAME ARE BAD FOR THE USA. WE THE PEOPLE MUST DEMAND AN END TO GOLDEN BENEFIT PACKAGES FOR PUBLIC SERVANTS (REALLY?). ELECTED OFFICIALS MUST BE SUBJECT TO ALL STANDARDS THEY FORCE ON US. ONLY WHEN THEY HAVE SKIN IN THE GAME WILL THEY BEGIN TO ACT RESPONSIBLY.

Republicans speak Common Sense.

Dems talk Crap.

[americanwizard111]

Good to see a responsible republican at work. Yes protect it we are going to need every dollar we can get in the coming golden years.

Gosh, Hutchison suggested that taxes could be raised on her channel, but she knows you rich cocksuckers won't go for that for this vid!

@robertmike57 Social Security benefits have a limit, a cap, so there must be a limit on taxes as well. Otherwise, just call it welfare.

[luvcheney1]

@robertmike57 My statement was my position. I dont give a fuck what she said. I see no fairness at all in asking rich people to pay more taxes in relation to their benefits than the rest of us do. As for their father starting the fortune out, so?? Perhaps you are not aware that the public actually uses oil? Something wrong with meeting a need of the people? Govt didnt fulfill the need. Govt didnt create a fortune. If it were taxed away, would the capital be preserved, or spent and destroyed?

[robertmike57]

@luvcheney1 Yeah, rather sad you idiots can't comprehend how the Koch Borthers are shitting on America, especially with your irrelevant garbage. A progressive tax made the USA great and scum like the Heritage Foundation are being used to destroy it.

[luvcheney1]

@robertmike57 16th Amendment came in 1913. The US had 1/3 of the entire worlds industrial production by then. LACK OF PROGRESSIVE INCOME TAX made the US Great, stupid.

9,000 Baby Boomers turn 65 every day.

Social Security is a Ponzi Scheme that is now taking in less money than it gives out.

[luvcheney1]

@TonyUnplugged Then it is as good as US Treasury bills.

[jedmarum]

Good plan. Thanks Kay!

[mcap52]

Yeh, let's applaud the HF for wanting to save an illegal ponzi scheme..... just more proof that this is a manipulative "think tank".

[force3264]

No core benefits in cuts is the opposite of what is needed. SS needs to be cut. Do the drastic thing and end the ponzi scheme.

[TheAspietunes]

Just get rid of it... if someone is going to piss my money away, I'd like it to be me. You can retire a lot better if you invest and save your money yourself.

[uttles]

Why should we save this socialist ponzi scheme?

(and don't tell me: "because we paid into it all these years!" - you didn't pay into it. They stole the money from you. It was not voluntary.)

[mcap52]

@uttles I don't quite get your logic. Because the government forces me to put money into something, that means I really didn't put my money into it? So who's money was it?

[uttles]

@mcap52 What is hard to understand here? The government owns the money and they own you! Wake up!
