I started working when I was 17. I remember getting my first pay check and seeing all the money that was taken out before I even saw it.
Remember I was a teenager. The only other job I had before this one was baby sitting, and I got paid the amount I was told I would get.
I wanted to know how come I didn't get paid what I was told.0 Social Security and other deductions to a 17 year old was not on my mind at all.
However, it was a comfort when explained to me that money will be mine again when I retire. Retire? I'm 17, hello?
So, now when I'm 77 and have been getting my money back as promised way, way back then, I'm being told Republicans are claiming it's a handout and they'd like it for themselves.
It's no handout. It's my money! It's not theirs. If people aren't beyond angry about this the Republicans have succeeded in boldly robbing senior citizens of their own hard earned money, and breaking a promise, without even wearing a mask. Makes me wonder who is next for this evil band of theives to hurt or destroy?
The Party Of God? What God would that be?

birdgal, my husband has the same thoughts. Your comment about the party of God? Some of these politicians would steal from the collection plate at church.

And allow impoverished children to go hungry (GOP politicians voting against continued universal free breakfast and lunch at public schools as they had in place during the pandemic).

Thank you, it's rad! This is the only way I can type your screen name because my auto correct keeps on changing it.
The computers are taking over. "Open the pod door, Hal!" Or, have they already done that? Lol.

The way this so called Grand Old Party behaves reminds me to never listen to what people say, watch what they do instead.
Never stop watching.
I can't understand how decent people can support them. Maybe they have always voted Republican because their parents did and their parents before them.
No need to even notice the things they say or do as long as they are not the other Party. History teaches us this is a bad idea. A very bad idea. Will we learn? I don't think so. What do you think?
