There are reports and I mentioned this yesterday. Angus King is trying to get together a group of Republicans. I mean a group of senators along with another Republican. Angus King of course is an independent from Maine. to get together with some Republicans in an attempt I guess to negotiate some type of debt ceiling increase that would involve a cut to Social Security in the form of raising the retirement age. you should know that in the hundred years or so really 90 I guess 84. Years in which social security has been operative the Actuarial Table shows that the longevity has increased. However, that is mainly for almost exclusively well exclusively for broadly speaking in terms of statistics people living at the upper end of the income Spectrum. 50 percent or higher at least in the income Spectrum for an increase in years lived. We have a mechanism to deal with people getting Social Security when they don't need it. and the way that we have to deal with that is called taxation. because you don't know that you don't need Social Security until you're ready to retire. But at that time the U.S. government can know how much money you have and have made and continue to make Maybe and they can tax you on it. If you believe in means testing then you believe in progressive taxation. and not only that if you believe in government efficiency and you believe in means testing you believe in progressive taxation. It is the most efficient way to test any type of government program that we have. and that way we don't have to do it on a program-by-program basis. We tax wealthy people. and we provide benefits to all people.

Democrats on the offensive in any way brings a smile on my face

The reason why Paul Ryan and his mother survived after his father died? Social Security benefits. What was his main focus while he was in Congress? Cutting Social Security. This is why I've always said that the Republican mantra is "It's good enough for me, but it's much too good for you."

When he started snickering that it’s all on camera, I legit chuckled, that was good.

"We got them on camera"

... January 6th, also on camera

Republicans have been calling him a potato for years, it had to feel really good to play them like a fiddle.

Omggg! President Biden invoking the sign of the cross in response to MTG and her sinful agenda for America was not only brilliant but freaking hilarious . Thank you for sharing that clip.

I have no problem with biden saying what he's saying. Just a few years ago, he was claiming we could all work together. That didn't happen, but he did try.

I have never heard a progressive tax system described as a solution for those that are hung up on means testing. 🤯 Sam, you really have some novel nuggets of wisdom. 👏

The original intent of Social Security payments was to provide just enough monetary support to prevent senior citizens from being homeless and starving.

I’m looking at my blue collar son’s broken body and these men have no income, refused disability, no healthcare. It is heartbreaking. Firefighters are often early retirees too.

“Ask your doctor about Bidenify” lolol that’s a Michael Brooks moment if I ever heard one 😂💙

No one gets wealthy on Social Security if they are being paid based on what they invested. The percentage of the retirees who live past their "expiration date" (the date in the actuarial tables) is an average of 10+/- years past their retirement. So, be sure to tax everyone for those years.... Crazy. It should work like an annuity!

Lmaoooo Dark Brandon in peakest of forms 🤣

The GQP will continue to underestimate Dark Brandon at their own risk.

[JaneCounts]

That's some Dark Brandon right there.

[tylerjames]

I think he's energetic b/c he's optimistic, and feels that he's making progress for the country, and I'm actually (surprisingly) sincerely happy for his successes!

Holy sh¡t, Dark Brandon shattering the backboard with that dunk, fnck¡ng amazing.

"Progressive taxation? Sounds like some commie shit" ~The one Republicon listening to this probably.
