Our president does not go along with the wishes of the common folks. He wants to decrease the amount social security pays so rich folks and their corporations can continue to pay low rates/nothing. Luckily, we have Bernie on the committee, so that shouldn't get off the ground this time. Thank you Harry Reid, for once I approve of your choice.
