You mean like your statement that the country is better off now than if Clinton had bene president. Or your belief the majority of gang members are illegal immigrants even though facts say otherwise.
-
Don't think that is true. A libertarian wants to get to the best position for him or her and tells those not that fortunate "too bad". I would prefer to get to a position where people can prosper, but that those who are not able to prosper have a minimum available to them.
-
I did look for the best. I assumed that the bullshit you are spewing makes you feel good.
-
Which of course you have absolutely no evidence for, but I am sure it makes you feel good.
-
You aren't. The government is. They do this for all kinds of things that sometimes I don't benefit from, but other people do: Medical Research Air Traffic Control NASA Military Agricultural research Tax policy and changes etc.
-
And what you aren't getting is that this proposal doesn't work. It makes no logical sense. The people most likely to stop their contributions are likely those who provide the majority of funding. This means that SS will be even further underfunded. Which means your tax dollars will still go to fund SS but now you are not getting any benefit out of it. Effectively your proposal is to be able to stop getting benefits, but really your tax dollars still going towards it. But you'll "feel better".

A link to that report be great. All the links I can find on denier sites that have this wording are dead....

If looking after the weak and vulnerable makes something a nanny-state then I guess I am in favour of a nanny state.
-
You seem to have the hardest time understanding this: it isn't about you. Policy isn't made with one person in mind. Do you really want to be part of a society which allows people to fail and then says: fuck them.

Julian Assange kicked out of Ecuador Embassy, arrested by British
SkyDekker replied to BillyVance's topic in Speakers Corner
The Mueller report states that DNC staffer did not steal the emails, Russia did. Looks like Assange purposely started this bullshit. But I am pretty sure the news sources you read aren't going to post corrections. But of course, it is the other news sources that are "fake news". -
It doesn't sway you, because you are only thinking about yourself. You are like the lady who hated Obamacare cause she didn't know she was being covered by Obamacare.
-
Like most libertarian ideas a nice soundbite and easy concept to understand. Unfortunately the consequences would be devastating, like with most libertarian ideas. It is such an egocentric way to look at things. What about you suggest the contributions to "defense" are voluntary and people who do not agree with endless wars can opt out of their taxes for that? There are lots of people who feel quite capable defending themselves should the need arise. Shouldn't people be free to make that decision?
-
You haven't. Other than to state you are too smart to let that happen. So, I guess I have my answer to the second part, you do indeed only care about your own situation.
-
Because people will end up in that situation. I am sure you are wayyyyyyy to smart to let anything unforeseen happen. However, what is your proposal to deal with these situations for the people who will find themselves in? Or do you really only care about yourself?
-
That doesn't answer the question. You choose not to participate, then you find yourself destitute and unable to work at 70. Now what?
-
And when you are broke, who is going to pay for that?
-
And if you don't. If you end up broke, with no income and an inability to work at 70 year old. Then what? This has nothing to do with nanny state, but providing a minimum to people who otherwise would not have anything. You can call it morose all you want. I think it is rather morose to think only about what is best for you and have no regard for others.
-
Does that include killing yourself when you can't afford to live or will you expect society to pay for you if you cannot afford to live and are unable to work? I don't understand this desire to not provide a basic safety net to your society.
-
So by that logic you believe Trump should be in jail too. Or you just don't follow any logic?
-
No. There are lots of groups who do things for reasons other than fear, revenge and anger.
-
Lol, more conspiracy theories.
-
Of course those aren't foreign hostile nations. And I don't think anybody should welcome help from foreign hostile nations in national elections. But it seems you are unable to look past your party line.
-
Feel free to provide the quotes. I haven't seen any from you, just conjecture.
-
Nope. This isn't from a news source, this is from the actual report. The quotes are from the actual report.
-
The report clearly states the Trump campaign welcomed the release of information fraudulently obtained by an enemy nation to help Trump win the election. I gave you the exact quote above. It is right from the report.
