No one wants to vote someone in office who will make SS voluntary?

How about slashing Federal Income Taxes or eliminating it? (Replace w/ National Sales Tax no more than 5%)

How about voting for someone who doesn't recieve the majority of their donations from the big banks they rally

against?

What about voting for someone who will actually END the wars?

you should be working your ass off to get an politician who will make SS voluntary ----- trust me --- if you could opt out - you would be better off investing your money yourself

I just turned 25

Obama = Repub

it's only like that if you look at the whole. Social Security by itself has a massive profit. The profit is offset by the deficit and debt (Which are two different things) made by wasteful spending on our over-bloated defense budget.

Almost a year later, and Cenk was right. Obama has broken too many promises, and civil liberties. It's even worse than what we thought back then...

Our system is not longer working for the people.... Our politicians are puppets on strings for the elite.... Politicians are all about what can you do for me..... Show me the money and I'll show you what you need.... It's pathetic and it shows how truly stupid human nature can be.... Greed is a bitch aint it...

"Social Security isn't anywhere near broke"

This statement is disturbing on so many levels.

How can any government program be in surplus when we are OVER 10 TRILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT. NOTHING has a surplus in government.

I do agree, however, that the media has been bought by the elite.
