Reply #25: If someone worked for years and paid into the system and had taxes taken out all of the years they [View All]

worked................. let's say a person works for 30yrs paying into the system and then gets a pink slip and can't find a job for 2yrs or more in a bad economy created by the Republicans and their corporate backers, (bankers and wall street) just to name a few. Now, this person who worked for thirty years and paid into the system, has taken back from the system for the past 2 years because there is not job available for them, not because they did anything wrong, but because the "system" the corporate ruled government, screwed them over. Is it your opinion, that this person, who has paid into the system for 30yrs paying taxes, (including but not limited to Social Security taxes), but now cannot find a job for the past 2yrs and is receiving unemployment, is a someone who "receives without working" Is this person on the "dole," "lazy," taking something that they have not earned?

We are all supposed to pay our fair share of taxes for the greater good of "our" nation to keep us safe and provide ourselves with a safe infrastructure and to provide us with less financial burden as we get older and can no longer work like (Social Security) "the earned benefit" that the Republicans want us to refer to as "an entitlement." When did all this bullshit start about others working and paying taxes, paying for those who "didn't work?" It's a great piece of brainwashing that many fall for, and it's really sad. Those who believe this garbage, are the ones who vote against their best interests and can't even see that they're doing it.

Actually, I think you might be right, this is what that ridiculous psycho babble was trying to say, and it's just another piece of propaganda pushed forward by the corporate media trying to pit us against each other, a rock in the bushes so to speak so we look over here, instead of over there where the corporate government and the rich don't want us to look while they're stealing the country blind. The dumber the population, the better it is for those who want to control the population. What a sad and sick country the corporations and their bought and paid for government have turned this nation into, and what a sad commentary on a population who is so distracted, uneducated and dumbed down that many cannot see where we are headed if it is not stopped.
