TLP to poor, elderly: Republicans will "skin you alive!"

[Fritz Walter]

These used to be "third-rail" issues. For those unfamiliar with the term,...

The third rail of a nation's politics is a metaphor for any issue so controversial that it is "charged" and "untouchable" to the extent that any politician or public official who dares to broach the subject will invariably suffer politically. The metaphor comes from the high-voltage third rail in some electric railway systems.

What a fitting way to end pRick Snott's political career!

1. Excellent ad

Scott's "plan" (and yes, I've read it) is ghastly.
Thank you for posting this.

5. Cawthorn

Has a similar plan. He wants Medicare Medicaid and SS ended. How much Medicare Disability has he gotten? And never contributed being he never worked up until his spring break drunken crash in his BMW. He is being well funded for this primary, with huge campaign signage. And every posted sign has a silhouette of a man in a wheel chair. How phony is that, representing himself as a man? Why his and Scott’s plans are not posted everywhere is sick. AARP need it front to back in the endless magazines and News prints they send. This is the most important issue all those Fox old folks need to know.

2. I agree with Scott. It's long past time these minimum wage moochers

start easing the burden on our poor millionaires and billionaires.

I've got some used bubble gum and a full colostomy bag they can have.

9. My fear is that republicans will still somehow sneak something in, to minimize social security

and all of the other great social programs that are there to protect those who need it the most, who have no insurance, no savings, unable because of health issues/concerns to work, or if they can work, unable to pull in the number of hours that make it worthwhile to pay the medical premiums and other bills too.

I am constantly in shock over what should be an obvious YES answer to help people like this, for who knows, maybe someone you love/know or yourself could be in this dire situation. There aren't enough volunteer organizations out there that can fully shoulder the burden of helping massive needs, not even if every single church in this Country contributes.

OUR government (at all levels) must contribute and play a role too, and if need be, in order to stabilize budgets, cut back on other items in budgets, a process that a lot of us do every month, so critical needs can be met. For a supposedly 'Christian' nation, I find this behavior cutting back on social security (seemingly always, still isn't broke yet, for the almost 50 years I've been in the workforce, paying my share (notice the words, paying my share).

I swear that it sometimes seems that every time we turn around, someone out there in the Congress somewhere is trying to pass some ridiculous that threatens people's long-term payments into Social Security and these other systems (railway workers have different plans).

It's to the point that any kind of legislature, taking money away from Americans and their earned benefits (and there may be a better way to call these types of payments from the government (but in essence, we paid them in), should be voted on by every single people (and dependents) who pays into the system, and not just those voters who manage to pass the barrage of anti-voter measures put in by republicans, but every single voter who pays (or did) payroll taxes, etc.

For a party (the gop) that advocates non-interference in the business sector, etc., they sure interfere quite a bit. Way too much.
