SWAT team shows up at Tea Party

[Descartes]

More likely, sure. Far more likely? Thats a stretch and you know it

I thought it was pretty widely acknowledged that women vote democratic far more often. First link: http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=6021

Again, I had always accepted that as a general fact as women are more empathetic and, dare I said it, less oriented by pure ideological lines.

Sweet photos. I like the ones with the SS/Medicare recipients getting ready to rally against the damn socialism that is ruining our country. Maybe they threw in side helping of rage against rising taxes despite having their cut this year? Who knows? Probably not even they know. They seem a tad confused.

Where in my statement did I say more women didnt vote democratic?

Can I opt out of SS?

Why is it that I suspect the Swat teams had some real evidence and all that little ole ladies bullshit might prove to be only a baseless smokescreen. But we can all wait a few days and see if the Feds press some criminal charges against a some few select idiots at that tea bag rally who might have been engaging in true criminal conspiracies while pressing no charges against those that are really innocent little ole lady and little ole men types.

Until more evidence comes out, I for one will not leap to any unwarranted conclusions.

lmfao you are a riot.

Can I opt out of SS?

Sure you can... just don't cash your social security checks. Or you can die. Then every penny you paid into your SS retirement then belongs solely to the government (unlike 401K's which can be willed).

I meant it as, Can I opt out and have all the money I put in refunded to me.

That isnt opting out.

Needless to say you are government property and I wish to make clear that fact before you have visions of grandeur involving some imaginary freedom.

🙁

That money that comes out of my checks would be much better spent into my ROTH.

Thanks for holding my hand and making a crappy retirement account(that may not be there when I retire) for me Big Brother. What a crock of shit.

Boo hoo hoo. Stay and cry or leave and be happy.

As soon as the Tea Baggers volunteer to give up their Social Security and Medicare then they can be taken seriously as wanting smaller government and less taxes.

Until then, they're no different than groupies who follow their favorite band -- except in their case they're following political entertainers like Limbaugh, Beck, and Palin.

Why do dumbshits keep bringing up things that we are not given an option to opt out of as if they are relevant?

 

[Vette73]

Are you sure that is a real SWAT team? Can't remember seeing that many beer bellies in an elite force before.

Its not SWAT. Its just regular low level patrolmen in gear.
But why let a little thing like Facts get in the way.

Do you feel its hypocritical to FORCE people into SS and then lambaste them for collecting it?

Hint: THEY DONT HAVE A CHOICE.

Why dont they let us opt out of their shitty program?

I swear it's just a scam. Like a pyramid scheme or something. We SHOULD be able to opt out of SS. If we didn't allow the government to dig into SS funds, SS should be budget neutral. Hell it should be a completely separate entity simply because we're funding our own retirements. Instead its become a government spending fund and what not. Imagine if the government could dig into YOUR 401k....

Yeah I'd opt out if I can.

Think of all the wonderful government programs the government could start for the "less fortunate"!!!

The point stands.

If they're for smaller government and less taxes why aren't they protesting against Social Security and Medicare?

Hint: Because they're socialist programs THEY benefit from.

Thanks. Now I'll cry myself to sleep tonight.

I protest against both. /shrug They are HUGE reasons why we are in such financial ruin

Allow me to opt out and I will, as long as I get back what I've put in.

I'm also for smaller government but it would be much easier to take these "Tea Parties" seriously if the people protesting were intellectually honest and consistent with what they're opposing.
