        ...And there you have it folks! The Big Lie designed to steal our Social Security and Medicare. McConnell, and Ryan have been gunning for it, all these years. First pass the huge Tax Cut taking revenue out of Tax Earnings, then steal from our Retirement Funds to make up the loss.pic.twitter.com/vrtmNdOt5I

        You nailed it. The huge tax cut for the rich will steal Medicare, Social security, and Medicaid money from the working and middle classes. Message let them eat cake. VOTE Democrats to save us from this theft.

        Excuse me. Social Security? We all have contributed to that. Medicare? We all are paying for that. Republican tax cuts for the rich. That’s what the deficit is all about it.

        Great! So I shouldn't have been paying into it since 1979? Tell that to the government who...wait for it....wait for it...AUTOMATICALLY took it from my paycheck!

        Actually this was settled by the Supreme Court: Helvering v. Davis 1937: “the proceeds of both the employee & employer are to be paid to The treasury like any other internal revenue and are not earmarked in any way.”

        Funny how many people had a problem with that. YOU HAVE TO HAVE CAR INSURANCE, but you don't want to be forced to have health insurance. Then you get sick, and presto you're either bankrupt or the rest of us have to pay for your non stop visits to the ER and increased premiums.pic.twitter.com/6f9IxHA4f4

        I've had that same thought. Everyone pays for healthcare one way or another. Its less costly and spreads the burden when everyone has health insurance.

        There is not enough Social Security and Medicare in the country to produce a deficit like that. It's simple arithmetic... increase spending, decrease income = deficit!! The GOP has been trying to destroy both since their inceptions.
