Can someone please explain how me getting to keep more of my hard earned money without sending it thru D.C. is theft? Maybe leader Pelosi thinks it's theft because Dems don't get the money? #obstructionisnthelping
This woman is disgusting
She's a fraud, even Democrat senators who oppose it say it's good for the country, not their district, and whys that? Their districts are sanctuary cities that already get state tax cuts. & they even say they're needing to re evaluate what they are doing wrong people r moving
Sort of odd to say the government taking less of someone's money is theft. The government's the one taking the money. How can you steal something that's yours?
The theft part is the bit that STEALS MEDICARE $, which is taxpayer money from PAYCHECK DEDUCTIONS, so Granny will die without healthcare SHE PAID FOR in advance, THIS BILL STEALS FROM MEDICARE to give OUR $ to millionaires that DON’T NEED the $, that’s THEFT #SENIORSneedMEDICARE
Overly simplistic. Granny paid into the system when life expectancy was lower & health care wasn't so expensive. With sensible modifications - e.g. raising age eligibility as life expectancy rises - Medicare will be fine.
Remember also that Medicare isn't really a system you pay into. There's no lockbox where they keep "your money". You pay costs for the current recipients as you work with the expectation you'll get your costs paid by the next generation of workers.
