1. Can I opt out of these friggin wars?

Didn't think so.

Going after Social Security...the righties wet dream.

3. Why the hell do they hate SS so much?

I just do not get this. This is one of the most successful, if not the most successful along with MediCare, govt program ever.

4. My view?

Because they equate FDR's "New Deal" with the encroachment of socialism and SS is the biggest example of that period.

They want government eliminated, because it is not effective and it's unconstitutional, except in the case of serving executions and bombing other nations.

6. Thanks for the reply. n/t

7. Personally? I'd rather have nothing to do with it...

...but I recognize it as a public good that should be retained.

On that theory, it boils down to selfishness.

8. Did he mean that state workers opt out? I know Texas teachers

do not pay into social security - but do have a retirement system.

2. Modern Day Robbing Hood....

...take from the poor and give to the rich.

Fuck Gov Perry...
