Thom Hartmann looks at the potential effects of Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) on U.S. Social Security.

(He did this rant in response to somebody whom he thought was paid to vsll the show and say "limit Social Security to poor people.")

3. Thanks Thom.
You are right, on the surface, it does sound reasonable. "Why should these wealthy people get SS benefits?" Honestly I had never thought of this as a strategy before today. Thank you Thom for opening my eyes to this.
