On your very last paragraph I would state they paid for their health care not the government. They paid into medicade or medicare all their working lives without any choice. Now when it comes time to collect what they have paid into, people want to state it is being given to them? Remember the government has no wealth without taking from the hard working people. Yes they have the means to print it, but it would not be worth the paper they used without a continuing source of true wealth to back there venture up, AMERICAN LABOR! I hope these are some of the facts you include when you write your article on the elderly using the system they paid for and the politicians robbed!

Benjamin is right. Liberals, statists, socialists, fascists, and communists differ in the amount of freedom they want to take away and their means to do it. Opposed to them are the libertatians and conservatives.

I never said it was. They both have the same outcome….. tyranny! Go troll under some other bridge!

FYI, socialism and fascism are not the same. I know you keep wanting to make this leap, but there’s a reason it hasn’t had much traction: even uneducated people know the two aren’t same.

Social Secuirity was set up by none other than the private, “Federal” Reserve. It is collateral on the debt “owed” after America went bankrupt (and still is) after 20 years of Central Banking. The “Federal” Reserve was set up on Christmas Eve of 1913 . It passed with 4 voted because everyone else was with their families. 20 years later…. the stock market crash and depression. The IRS is nothing more than the “Federal” Reserve’s SWAT team.

Wake up people! END THE FED! Sunday, November 22nd in KC MO. Will start at 11 am , right by the “Federal” Reserve building!

Mandatory IRS payments to our government are required for both Social Security and Medicare, and are not programs that one can “opt out” of. Our government coercively collects the tax from people who work out of their earned income. There are no individually owned accounts earning interest for either program. Prudent people would be financially ahead if they could “opt out” of these programs, and simply invest the money collected for both programs in their own retirement and healthcare accounts earning compound interest. Mandatory government sponsored retirement and healthcare does not equal freedom. And then there is the problem of our government bureaucrats deciding to pay “benefits” via the Social Security and Medicare programs to people who made only minimal or no contribution to the programs.

Anonymous proves my point–attacking someone’s spelling is a classic ad hominem. (While at the same time, Anonymous omitted the word “a” before WordPress and used bad grammar in the sentence “What does race got to do with this?” Excuse me if I laugh.)

I might point out, too, that there were more than two black speakers (four, in fact), but even using Anonymous’s figure of 1 in 7, that is approximately the same ratio of blacks to whites as in the American population at large anyway, so I’m not sure what Anonymous was trying to prove with that statement.

PS. I love watching all of you try to spell. It’s awesome!

“racelly” = racially (I think)

Bob, isn’t there WordPress widget you can throw into Thesis to spell check/check commas for these posters?

Carol–

What does race got to do with this? And you had two black speakers out of a dozen whites.

I know this game…it’s called revisioning via propaganda. Welcome to Wichita “Liberty.” I’m so glad that, within that “liberty,” you include the privacy of the individual and, particularly, the woman.
