Suck workers in & fuck 'em over. Seems to be the MO of the United States of Extortion.

I'm anxious to hear their thoughts... 😒

Attica. Place is full of Republicans.

Went viral with "Rich Men North of Richmond", which became a Trumper anthem a couple of years back?

Whatever happened to that guy and his one manufactured hit song?

Assuming Dems sit on their hands after voting NO when these dumb ideas come up for a vote, I suspect enough Repugs will realize MANY voters will be unhappy with offsetting tax cuts for the rich and corporations by cutting SS and the Meds and not be supportive either. It does get a bit trickier if they offset tax cuts with tariffs although that is really a tax on all that when the increased costs come home to roost as inflation will also be a bite in the butt for Repugs. Unless they are going to get smarter and trickier and play chess instead of checkers it won't be much fun to be a Repug legislator running for reelection again.

Like they did (unsuccessfully) in 2017.

Elected Democrats, please find a microphone and, in unison, trumpet this from the heights. THIS is our message! The world’s richest man wants YOUR Social Security to cover HIS taxes!

Extremely well said.........

And as an aide in the WBush regime said something like: "The Republicans will do what we please, and you Dems will only be able to stand by and watch"

Hungry, with nothing to lose, makes us a dangerous bunch of geezers with no future anyway...

Opposition to the first move against SS must be a consistent, rolling general strikes for as long as there is the least threat.

Thing 1: Those programs run outside the General Fund on their own tax bases. Is he proposing getting rid of the benefits and keeping the taxes, which amounts to a huge tax hike, or getting rid of the taxes too?

Thing 2: If he gets rid of the taxes too this will cause huge problems for the rest of the government since the rest of the government relies on that money for short term funding.

Not a thing but an observation: the GOP claims they want to run government like a business. The four agencies that have always been on the GOP’s shit list are the Social Security Administration and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (which run like private-sector insurance companies), the United States Postal Service (which runs like a private-sector delivery service) and the National Rail Passenger Corporation (which runs like a private-sector transportation company). It’s a bit unbelievable to consider the Republicans want to run government like a business when they’re hell-bent on getting rid of every agency that really does run like one.

That makes it more attractive to small businesses so they will go along with giving HUGE corporations one more tax break on not contributing into Social Security. MAGA fools will think they are getting a tax cut when they look at their little pay stubs. But if they live long enough to no longer be able to have their labor exploited, they find out they are SOL.

Department of Republican Robbery.

and reminding them they should be smart enough to see Fascism raising it's ugly head and what they
are going to do about it, stand up with some backbone or cower down in fear of Musk's wrath? Doing
the latter means you were never worthy of being an elected official to begin with and we'll vote you out.

But if you stand up to tRump & Musk you need not worry about a primary challenger because we'll stand
and vote with you. (It's OK to lie to them, they do it all the time)

Secret to standing up to tRump & Musk might be secret ballots on all the House and Senate votes
if that is even possible.
