  • Social Security hasnt been cut. But the purchasing power of social security has gone down. Why? Because the government is spending too much, causing inflation. The government needs to be CUT not grown. And we need to allow people not on Social Security to opt out, because they will not be getting the money back they put into it.

    Also, you guys are dumb. The top 1% pay 38% of all income taxes, and the top 10% pay over 70% of the taxes, and poor people don't pay income taxes. Stupid socialists.

  • I've watched several videos from this account and it is appalling how broad the suffering is from citizens throughout the United States. The man with the shades is telling the truth, the people have never ruled and nothing will change when the economic scales remain unbalanced. There will forever be upheavals.

  • As in history, the crooks will probably end up dead.

  • WHAT A SCAM.

  • Yes, let the banks keep all of the money with 0 regulation and let the poor people (who've already paid into this scam system) die. "MASS GENOCIDE"
