Another word which Rs re-purposed to mean something "not good", to their perceived benefit. Rather than something which was designed to be "the carrot on the end of the stick", it was re-defined (by them) to be something that is supposed to happen for people who really don't deserve it, but feel they are.
ReplyDeleteAt the same time, a whole financial industry (much deeper and more complicated than any really suspect!!) exists to serve these monies. Let Rs pay into a plan (contract) for decades, with the knowledge that after a certain time has expired, they can then draw money from that plan . . . and then it not happen. See if THEY feel they are entitled to those payments!
The other things Rs do not like is that anybody with a valid SSN or TIN can get signed up for Social Security. Over the past decades, a "Taxpayer ID Number" was the domain of only businesses, but has been eased-into also being for individuals, too. Even for non-full-citizens who are working to support themselves and their families. Paying sales TAXes and getting SSA taxes deducted from their wages. So they can leally collect SSA in the future and also freceived Medicare and Medicaid benefits . . . but only IF they have the SSN or TIN number.
That's the thing that frosts my ass --- them calling it "entitlements." Even some Dems use it.
ReplyDeleteThe gluttony of the few at the expense of the many.
ReplyDeleteTheir hero Ayn Rand believed it was the working stiff who was the parasite !
At the current rate capitalism will self-destruct just like communism and fascism, then again they’ll just get another bailout at the expense of the working stiff.
And so it goes.

If the ones calling it entitlement had to work for one week at the burger flipper's wage, they all would be crying like the babies they are. TAX the billionaires 98%!!!
