Why don't republicans understand seniors?

There won't be Medicare as we know it by the time those kids retire regardless. Republicans want to fix the system and make it viable. That requires changes to the way it works.

It's a whole new world partner. One that we don't understand. I just know they consider us leeches off the tax dollar instead of ones that paid fica in for years. When they started taking fica out in the 80s to pay star wars in our military and also pay on the deficit; I had a real problem with it. It wasn't mentioned on the news much. It's the same thing with Medicare; they have audited so much fraud since Pres Obama has been in office and stopped billions of being spent on false medical claims. That seems to be not mentioned by both parties. The majority of the deficit is owed to Medicare and Social Security that has been borrowed. So, many want it cut back or benefits removed. I'm sorry; give me the money back I paid in with interest. It was an insurance I paid for 40 yrs. Now, give me my money. Hitler started with the old, mentally ill, and disabled before he ever went after the Jews.

Who reported the republican party desires to try this? What I fairly have heard grow to be the thought of "potential checking out" with understand to reward. case in point a retired millionaire with $one hundred,000 a month in unearned earnings gets the comparable benefit (and somewhat in all threat a larger verify) because of the fact the widow without earnings different than social secure practices.With potential checking out that retired millionaire does not acquire the comparable or extra suitable than the widow, surely somewhat in all threat that millionaire would possibly no longer acquire something. yet another concept grow to be elevating the cap on the employment tax. precise now the tax is paid in basic terms on the 1st $a hundred and sixty,000 in earnings. any earnings after that there is not any employment tax. removing or elevating that cap might propose that earnings above $a hundred and sixty,000 might additionally be situation to that tax. There are various achievable transformations to the Social secure practices gadget that doesn't harm seniors yet might shrink or get rid of the deficits which will effect if transformations at the instant are not made.

Depends on which group of seniors yo are refering to. Wealthy and healthy seniors love Medicare.They live to 85 and get $20,000 worth of health insurance while having a million in the bank.

You poor sheep. You think everything will be fine just depending on who you vote for. There's a whole world of hurt coming down the road. It won't matter much what side you are on either.

I've only met one politician in my life that had any common sense and everyone thinks he's a nut.

If by "understanding" you mean trying to rob them of medicare and pay for a risky government program, then you're right. We don't understand seniors. Maybe this is why the majority of seniors are voting Romney Ryan? You IDIOT!

Can't tell if trolling or just stupid. It was the democrats idea to funnel the money from SS to the general fund. How'd that turn out?

Edit: Hmm, I don't see a retort in your response - but thanks for admitting you're full of it

Medicare will not be destroyed under Romney's administration .........no one buys your scare tactics anymore so hang it up.

Republicans care only about fetuses, those who are Christian-conservative-hetoersexual- American, and their corporate donors. They claim to care for Jesus, but that's debatable.

Just like democrats care only about race-baiting, making people feel guilty, and their corporate donors.
