You can always go to Iran; I’m sure they will be more than happy to let you isolate yourself.

The root cause problem here is we are subsidizing failure. The "War on Poverty" was nothing more than a Dem, effort to enslave millions of Americans to the system to keep them voting Dem. It worked. Poverty rates are virtually unchanged. Welfare does not work. Is should be ended. |

Have you notified the proper authorities of this Crime of Fraud, or has the Vette Barn been your only stop? |

Do you mean to say that all income is owned by the government and that they get to decide what you keep? Those "Loopholes" you speak about are to encourage certain behavior. Personally I would love to see a flat tax where EVERYONE pays a fixed percentage of their income to the Fed. No deductions, No exceptions. |

WTF?
how many of them are driving vettes and own their own home? If the person making 60K lived like the one making 14,500 you may have a point. But until that happens this is BS, at least where I live. |

Please point out the FACTS that you referenced making in your first quote. While I too am having a hard time figuring out what you're trying to say, I think you're saying Millionaires, are the ones who are paying for the health care costs of many Americans. And by that you'd be right, it's a form of Socialism, from those that have to those that don't, unfortunately this is a much greater burden on Americas Middle Class, than it is on the wealthy. |

Per this example, it's a family making $60k, I don't think they'll be living in/driving anything much nicer than what section 8 pays for.

(Social Security is a direct re-investment back into the economy) Families are already living on top of each other from unemployment and homelessness ... So your right-wing post here is laughably-wacked at best ... |

What's ANY of this have to do with the Ryan plan anyways? 1st it didn't pass, 2nd it has little to do with these entitlements, except maybe to show that SSI and other entitlements are in desperate need of reform, perhaps a plan similar to what Ryan started. |
