Yes it was. All democratic vote purchasing buys for minorities. They couldn't switch them from the republican party so they bought them. Thank Johnson.
Medicare and social security have been robbed so much , mostly by dems, there is not going to be anything for those that actually paid in to after they pay those that never did or are here illegally. More vote buying with our money. I'm against all of it no matter which party does it.
Chinned only because Ronnie was right, but fer fuck sakes, if you're attempting a not so subtle troll by comparing the Berlin Wall situation to the Southern Border of the USA, then you're HondoFS. Otherwise, cheers.
And of course he was widely ripped by our impartial saints of the media and accused of wanting to start a nuclear war and all the usual bullshit that hasn't changed in 30 years

You Marxists have no sense of humor. Classic Ronnie, joking during a mic check.
Plural: Yes. Possessive: No
Plural vs. Possessive "S" Most nouns form the plural by adding -s or -es. For example, boat becomes boats, or hat becomes hats. ... When we want to show that something belongs to somebody or something, we usually add 's to a singular noun, and an apostrophe ' to a plural noun.

To be fair...
Reparations aren't cheap.
To be fair...
On the means tested programs:
Food Stamps - 40% white Medicade - 42% white
Granted, whites are 62% of the population and in minorities the percentages of those receiving means tested benefits is higher, but there's an awful lot of poor whites who make up the constituency for these programs. Keep in mind there are a lot more poor white people in raw numbers (i.e., votes) than there are poor black people.
In other words, reparations for indentured servitude aren't cheap.

Democrats were purchasing everyone'svotes with these programs. New Deal and Great Society legislation was only made possible by massive donkey majorities in the Congress in the 1930's and 1960's. Blacks couldn't even vote really in the 1930's and were just barely starting to in the 1960's. White working class made passage of those programs possible. Social Security and Medicare are by far the 2 biggest consumers of our tax dollars on a federal level, and overwhelming majorities of middle class and poor voters (regardless of race) don't want them touched. Even the means tested ones I listed, have YUGE numbers of whites on the rolls; and bear in mind that there are still a lot more poor white voters in the US than black ones in terms of raw numbers.
Look, I loathe seeing a big chuck of my wealth getting transferred to someone else as much as any conservative leaning guy. And I think these programs need massive overhauls to make them more efficient and remove disincentives towards work (e.g., people living off disability in perpetuity). But there is a massive difference between what we have now - i.e., mixed economy with some socialism - vs communism. It's a political impossibility to maintain a democratic and capitalist w/o some compromise with socialism and wealth redistribution. If you don't do that then it's torches, pitchforks, and viva la revolution!

So how big a chunk before revolution and gunfire from those doing the paying? The chunks way too big.
I agree on helping those in need but not 7+ generations living solely on government programs or illegals getting government benefits. The needy is one thing the lazy is quite different. Maybe no voting if your on the dole is the answer. The number on government benefits is reaching the tipping point. The American Republic will endure until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
Social Security was never meant for anyone other than those that payed into it and your rate was based on payments in. It was never considered an entitlement until now. How things change. I do notice welfare and food stamps never run out of money.

Um. Your rate is based on payments into it. And the military never runs out of money either. Why do you endorse $600 billion to the military welfare complex but bitch about $100 billion for food stamps and housing.

We need the military. We don't need people sitting around being lazy because the provided benefits are adequate for them to never work.

Ironically, most illegals pay into social security and will never see a dime of it.
Ironically they shouldn't get anything. Does no one know the definition of "illegal" anymore? Both the person and their actions in using stolen SS numbers are illegal among other things.

there is a reason they get paid in cash
This is false. During my brief private sector career in Arizona I managed around 120 people. At least 75 of them were illegals. They were made to pay into Medicare, but obviously will never see any of it.

I never said they "should" get anything. I just remarked that they pay into social security.
Milton Friedman once said "Look, for example, at the obvious, immediate, practical example of illegal Mexican immigration. Now, that Mexican immigration, over the border, is a good thing. It’s a good thing for the illegal immigrants. It’s a good thing for the United States. It’s a good thing for the citizens of the country. But, it’s only good so long as it’s illegal. He was, of course, referring to them paying payroll taxes, but not collecting benefits because they were here illegally.

No wonder your private sector career was brief
We e verify - no illegal gets employed legally. My gardener and landscaper take cash. I need to get them e verified
You aren't paying into SS if you get paid cash and pay your crew in cash. You can't get a legit job or contract without e verification.
