often guaranteed by law or contract.

I don't believe Republicans have ever framed it in those terms. They're too busy kneeling in front of statues of Saint Ronnie The Gipper and viewing it as a hand-out to "Welfare Queens."

It's an EARNED BENEFIT. If you don't put anything IN, you don't get anything OUT.

I don't think I've ever seen a Republican acknowledge that.

a sign of respect, until a black football player kneeled during the national anthem. Kneeling for St.Trump is different.

Technically it’s an “entitlement” meaning you paid for it you’re entitled to it. As opposed to, say, SNAP which has conditions. I wish people would stop getting offended by the term. But of course Republicans have twisted the definition.

bugs the shit out of me that they get away w this.

I do not understand why some do not seem to understand that fact.

It is the way it has always been. IT ISN'T a degrogatory term, and I fail to understand why some try to conotate it as such.

When they passed the Social Security Act in 1935

“RESERVATION OF POWER

SEC. 1104. The right to alter, amend, or repeal any provision of this Act is hereby reserved to the Congress.“

Its bad enough they have given DT and company free reign to loot the shit out of us, they gotta continue their cruel lust to take away the programs and supports the average Americans have and need.

And, for anyone who is cheering Rand Paul on for the little kickbacks has made on DT, THIS is who he is. One of the leaders of trying to dismantle our social contracts.

Yes, FCK that guy, many times over.

against anyone who opposes or criticizes them.

We've seen this playbook dozens of times already.

The Republican Party has become totally corrupt. Can anyone name a single Republican officeholder they trust?

ENTITLED to a return on my contributions. Republicans always change the meanings of words.
