2. You're right...
I have no use for Congress men/women who bitch about Social Security while they live it up on the tax payer's dime. Don't confuse that with the Congress men and women who work diligently to better the lives of those in need.

You call it bashing...I call it hypocrisy and will call them out...just as I give huge respect and props to those who go to work everyday to truly help those most in need.

3. Pointing out hypocrisy is not PS bashing.
It's exposing a character flaw.

5. It's how you point it out.
The implication is, why should anyone that didnt slave to build an empire get to retire in dignity.

6. Also, not one Rethug is saying those seniors on SS are lazy scum.
They are saying it is stupid to think any culture could afford to pay for humans to retire in dignity.

7. I am 72 years old and was working until I was 70.
I was laid off from my job, otherwise I would still be working. I am collecting social security, and I am not a lazy scum because no one is going to hire me at my age. And I certainly to not wish to be a WalMart greeter.

9. if that guy collecting social security were to say anything, it would be
called "class warfare" and rushbo would be all over it.

10. More than that, Rethugs think only those not recieving one red cent of
public monies,to include SS, should be allowed to vote.
