It was his wife who first started calling him that...

Despite his father's libertarian views and strong support for individual rights, the novelist Ayn Rand was not the inspiration for his first name. Growing up, he went by "Randy", but his wife shortened it to "Rand."

Maybe there are some voters who have paid into the system for decades, yet are happy to vote for the party that wants to take their money away.

But I think if most recipients actually learn about this and believe it, they'll decide Trump's party poses a danger to their financial security.

Let’s talk about cutting travel to Moscow to handoff secret docs from Trump to Putin.
Not another God Damned word about cutting SS and Medicare until we talk about the cash cow giveaway for politicians that ride into the sunset with amazing retirement and healthcare that passes to the spouses after they die while the don’t do a fucking thing for the people that pay them.

Social Security payments go directly back into the economy. Cuts to SS would have a negative impact on the economy.
