Fox GOP Forum: Grandpa Fred on Social Security

Chris Wallace asks Fred Thompson about some of his ideas for the economy and for Social Security and Fred tries to pretend like the things he's proposing won't cut benefits. Even Romney can't agree with him that what he's saying is such a good idea but even Mitt thinks all of us should be working until we're dead before we see a benefit. As Paul Krugman says, the trust fund is in good shape and it's a lie that Social Security is in trouble. These people who keep telling this lie just want to enrich their buddies on Wall Street and privatize the fund and it isn't because they've got the interest of the tax payers or Social Security recipients in mind.

Your campaign is OVER! And Social Security still lives.

Good riddance, jackoff!

Republicons are going for your Social security money. Grab your gun!

All that has to be done is raise the cap. Right now people that make up to $90,000 pay 6%. People that make $180,000 pay 3% People that make$540,000 pay 1% The richer you are the smaller % of income is paid in social security taxes. Does that make sense? Who is that CEO that offers any CEO of a corp. one million dollars if he can prove he pays higher percentage income taxes than his secretary?

Get rid of the damned fed reserve, and get rid of ALL SS, and income taxes.

"I'm not cutting benefits, I'm just making them smaller!"

Like that's going to go over well in the general.

Night night, Grandpa.

Watch the background behind Fred! A Ron Paul supporter put up signs in the window and a bunch of stormtroopers ran in and yanked them down.
