We pay a price for that service. It's an insurance policy. Some of us pay into this policy whether we want to or not. Entitlement programs are like soup lines, and food stamps. ****.

Once again I say, you see what they have done with SS yet you trust them with your healthcare.

3. It *IS* an entitlement by definition.
   
Stop demonizing the word "entitlement".

Entitlement is a guarantee of access to benefits because of rights or by agreement through

The problem is you goons think just for being born you are entitled to free pot and cheetos for life.

Huh?!?

[Freeper]

Huh?!?

It's that Military pay is socialism bullshit the goons have been spewing.
Of all federal employees they are the only ones who produce something.

Oh, it's not just loopy dipshit leftists that are spewing that meme...right bkg?

I've heard that arguement before. It doesn't even qualify a rebuttal. 

[diesel driver]

I've heard that arguement before. It doesn't even qualify a rebuttal. 

Hell, it doesn't even qualify as intelligent or coherent.   

Damn, these people are stooopid!  These posts must be originating from Kalifornia, post Prop 19.  It should be against the law to post while impaired, but the DUmp would go silent if it were.

[Randy]

Unemployment has most certainly been turned into an entitlement. 26 weeks being stretched to 99 with talk of more sounds like it to anyone but a DUmmie.

[NHSparky]

Well, the DUmmies are half right--SS isn't an entitlement.  It's a PONZI scheme.

[Karin]

Well, here's a little gem:

5. Idiot teabillies think that SS is a tax. They think this because they are stupid. People pay into SS, and it is no different than a 401K - with 1 exception: it's safer. However, it's far from an entitlement the way they think of an entitlement, as money that gets taken from them and given to those dirty neegras and messicans. But, as I said before, they think that because they are stupid.
 

I named my kitten Nikki.  But it was after Nickey Haley.

9. SS can be a freeloader program
 My grandmother is 94 and she has collected tens of thousands of SS dollars and I'm pretty sure she never paid in a dime. She can do this because she's "entitled" to it.

Doused the fire. 

[jukin]

I'm sure you all have heard but kalifornia is BORROWING $40 million a day to pay unemployment benefits.

Yeah they are.  Entitlements aren't necessarily evil, but they ultimately have to be affordable.  These two have sprouted extra heads to feed to the point that they aren't affordable in their current state.

[delilahmused]

And here I thought we were only entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Silly me.

Wrong again Assmonkey. With a 401(K) you can dictate where the money is invested.

Safer? That's debateable. I'd rather put my money into a simple 401(K) that has the option to invest in a simple $1 per share Money Market Fund earning minimal interest or invest in a few Index or Blue Chip Funds than have my money confiscated by the SS Admin.

At least in the Money Market Fund I'll get a yield and in the Index or Blue Chip Fund I will get some growth in my principle over time.

Did'nt anybody on DUmmies Island ever take Econ 101 in High School or College? They just want to let the gubbment take their money and look out for them. Nanny-staters disgust me.

Idiot teabillies think that SS is a tax.

I wonder if the gov't calling it "SS tax" has anything to do with that?

I wonder if DUmmies realise that SS, based upon a number of factors, may be taxed to you as income when you start receiving it.

So...

1. The gubbment takes it from your income.
2. Holds it until they say you can access it.
3. "Ponzi's" it out to other federal spending programs without providing interest to you.

&

3. May tax you on it when and if you ever do start receiving it.

Nice scam they got going there. Thank you FDR!

DUmmies and simple economics are just complete opposites. As is common sense.

Yet is the ONLY "entitlement program" whereas you can have your head shot off for participating in it.
Imagine - you DUmmys are using your food stamp debit card buying Twinkies and Cheetos, you swipe your card, your random number comes up, a guy in the bakery pops up, and drops a .223 slug into your temple.

You fracking sack of horse manure....

Ooooo I like this idea! How do we get it passed and implemented? 

[NHSparky]

Perhaps the DUmmies LIKE the fact that the government takes away 12.4 percent of their income and IF they're lucky they get an inflation-adusted whopping ****ing 1.2 percent rate of return, unless you're a male minority, in which case your return is LESS THAN ZERO.  That's right, assmonkeys, African-American males (particularly lower income) can look to receive LESS in benefits than they paid in.

Oh, but isn't that "social justice" and shit like that?

How is that so? Is iit because black males have a statistically higher mortality rate?

Mostly.  I'd have to look it up but a black male who reaches 65 typically only lives 3-4 more years on average.

I love it when the libtards and DUmmies use those words. Such a perversion of those words with those people.

[Crazy Horse]

Of all federal employees they are the only ones who produce something.

I beg to differ
