Social Security is, in fact, not a form of communism - rather, it's a form of socialism. Socialism is wholly compatible with democracy and maintaining our liberties. Social Security is a great thing, and yeah, we all put money into a pot to pay for it - and, no, it's not a ponzie scheme. In fact, Social Security has run a net overture for years (feds take in more $ for it than they spend on it), but our government continues to fail by spending this money - which should be earmarked and/or placed in a dedicated fund solely for SS.

Regardless, my point is that Joe Biden is not a communist, nor does he support any communist policies. Socialism, on the other hand, will continue to grow here in the US - just as it has in Europe. Obamacare (ACA) is a large step in this direction, and one that I believe is a net positive.

Point is, set up because the government, deemed the average citizen, incapable of doing for themselves.

That money is not given back equal to what is put in.

It is going broke. It will not be sustainable for long.

Given as a choice, who would put money willingly into it unless not made to? Forcibly deemed to, is not best.

You are right, the social give and provide for me net will continue to grow, and you will see the same result on anything put out as any socially structured government ran "program". There is going to be no net positive.

But, it doesn't matter, we can talk and have discourse, the reality of the future is what it is, better just hope you are one of the lucky one's who live in the rarified atmosphere free from the sh** that the the 99% have to. Because, that is where life is headed. Have and have not's, people ain't seen anything yet.

You seem to spout alot about "communism". Question: Do you collect Social Security? If not of age yet, do you plan on doing so?

Also, what liberties do you believe will be denied to you when Biden becomes President?

You know damn well what rights they are after...and Social Security is not an entitlement, it is my damn money, and you damn well know that too.

I really hope that they don't go mad with the power they will have holding the WH, Senate and the House...but I have no illusions that they won’t.

It will be a question of when, not if there will be violent conflict. I hope I don't live to see it. I believe it is inevitable sooner or later if they force a far left agenda on that vast sea of Red.

I hope for the sake of peace that they don't do the dumb **** they have promised to the party extremists...but I believe they will.

If they have the Senate of course they will push through the BLM/antifa agenda. It appears they have gotten away with a massive voter fraud scheme and that leads me to believe we will never see another R president. They now know they can cheat in multiple states and get away with it. I will never acknowledge biden as the president.

SS is a ponzi scheme that was never meant to be a full retirement fund. It perpetuates govt reliance and if I could opt out right now they can keep what I've already donated. Retirement is not an age

This is the best way to put it. I would have much rather opted out, taken that money, and invested it on my own. I would end up with far more income when I retire.

Like people who work in an operating room every day? It’s not hard, also a very odd hill to die on, so to speak. People hid from Nazis in a single room for years but we can’t be bothered wear a mask to go into a store.

If someone told me that wearing underwear on my head for a month might prevent a death I would do it, even if I don’t believe it to be true. The consequences of me being wrong are drastically different than the consequences of me being right. We’ve lost all sense of community in favor of individual liberties. That’s not where most of us grew up, but it’s where we live now.

Ok. Do Christianity next.

Billions of people, not somebody, and the most printed book in human history, the Bible are telling you that if you don't give yourself to Christ you will be separated from God for eternity. In torment and misery.

The consequences are too dire to NOT worship the God of the Bible and embrace a relationship with Him. Surely you are going to become a devout believer, right? Maybe even become an usher, deacon, or Sunday school teacher. No way you can take that risk .

Logical consistency can be tough on a man.

Republicans will control the senate when all is said and done. This and the Supreme court will block any loopy leftist crap they try to pull. Then, as history shows, they will lose seats and probably lose the house in the mid terms. They won't be able to cheat enough to get out of that one.

If the Rs hold the Senate then we are saved and yes I agree 2022 will likely be a beat down of the radical left

I like how he equated the danger of this overhyped virus with a regime that literally slaughtered 20+ million Europeans...not even counting the actual fighting deaths of millions of soldiers they caused...

THAT'S BRILLIANT!!!

Do enlighten us all on how Social Security is paid for . Now tell us again about these shut downs you are promoting . Now add 1+1 and see what you come up with . Like with all good socialist programs they depend on the collective to support it , the further we go left the more history comes into play with socialism and its abysmal track record of success .

If I was God I'd consider it a bitch move if someone believed in me only out of fear of going to hell.
