4. I don't get your point,
many Republicans have been saying that for generations. They already think it is. So what's to pound the hell out of?

5. My thoughts exactly!
Don't give them any more ammo to use against social security!

A better thing to push is this:

If Social Security had been privatized, your Golden Years would be spent in a cardboard box.

6. If Social Security is socialism, and Republicans are against it, then the conclusion one would come
up with is that Republicans are against Social Security. Which in reality, the Republicans would get rid of tomorow if they could. Lots of people on Social Security.

7. Didn't "Joe the Plumber" just call SS a joke?
I don't think it's anything new with Republicans at all.
