I paid into social security for over 30 years. If I don't get it when I'm old enough to collect, I am claiming a house and land from one of these oligarchs. Pay what you owe or I will take it by force. The home and land of the wealthiest person in the county where I grew up. Maybe a government building instead. But I'm taking something.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Are we winning yet? Small pain for big payoff? Making America Great Again, are we?
Um. No shit, Sherlock?
It's still important to write about it and share it on Lemmy though.
Welp...
Guess I can take solace in the fact that if/when I'm thoroughly fucked by this, at least so are the majority of his own fucking voting base.
It is too laugh. At least a bit.
I'm gonna get through this shit on spite alone if I have to.
I feel that this is a good daily self affirmation. "I'm gonna get through this shit on spot alone if I have to."

I guess we'll have this to look forward to when they eventually gut the whole thing.
If only there were some sort of very simple mechanical "unburdening machine."
