DMCA | What Republicans, and some Democrats, refuse to tell the American people is that cutting Social Security is stealing from the people, creates poverty for senior citizens, and is bad for the economy. Over the past five years, the GOP and their conservative backers have spread lies and misinformation about Social Security and were successful in labeling it an "entitlement" to portray it as a handout that contributes to lazy Americans' culture of dependency on government. However, Social Security is an entitlement only in the sense that people who paid into the program all their working lives are "entitled" to a return on their investment that in reality makes Social Security a "mandated retirement savings plan" Republicans lust to hand over to their wealthy Wall Street supporters. |
