... unanswered is, why do irredeemably rotten billionaires want to deprive those less fortunate of THEIR OWN FUCKIN' MONEY? What kind of people and I use the term "people" VERY loosely when referring to the repulsively rich even care? It's not their money; it's not the government's money, it is deferred wages held in trust. As was noted in an earlier reply, it doesn't add a penny to the deficit, nor will the malicious destruction of the government's most popular program reduce the deficit by a penny. So why the goddamned fuck don't they just shut up about it?
Republicans have been trying to do away with Social Security since 1935, for chrissakes! WHY?!!? It does them no harm, the greedy bags of pig excrement don't even pay anything into the SS Trust Fund past $160,000, which is probably less than the pocket change they spend on goldfish food!
There is simply no bottom to their fetid cesspool of depravity. I have an above average vocabulary, but I am at a loss for words to adequately describe how much I hate these fuckers. My sixty-plus years of hatred for the Republican Party has always burned hotter than the surface of the Sun, but now it's gone supernova.
NOTE: This reply was originally posted to another OP on the same subject, but I think it deserves an encore.Especially regarding the refutation of rabid Republicans' lies about Social Security's effect on the deficit. There is none.
