Republicans once maligned Medicaid. Now some see a program too big to touch

3. Damn right! When will republicans realize the true amazing value of Medicare, Social Security, and other such

helpful programs to literally 70 million people and their families, which pushes the number of people impacted if we apply a multiplier of the avg. family size of 2.5, so 70 million times 2.5, is 175 million people are impacted by one of the most successful government programs ever in this Country. It's helped literally millions of us from starving, going hungry, and getting precious medical care. Not all of us can be $billionaires or $millionaires.

This singular hate that republicans have for these programs is ungodly and certainly not being the creed that America used to stand as a beacon to the world, to help fight hungry, feed the poor, help the disadvantaged, in effect, do as God tells us, do unto others as you wish for yourselves. This singular hatred ... where in the hell does it come from? Jesus...tax rates are already very low, business-wise and capital gains, Jesus, they only incur if they ever sell their stock or businesses, most of them never do sell these assets so they never incur any taxes anyways. So, what the hell are they complaining about?

With Social Security, there are limits in paying these taxes, and once you reached the limit, you're done paying these for the year.

I guess if republicans insist on removing these sorts of taxes, we'll have to impose significant wealth taxes then. And I mean significant %s. Scumbags. This country relies on everyone when they can, pay their fair share.
