[QUOTE="LotusBud, post: 885761, member: 1123"] Yes. But the immediate problem is the electoral college. My vote in CA will have no impact on the outcome. I DO vote. I vote for candidates I think are aligned with my values. I am anti-corporate war mongers. Unfortunately, SS can be fucked with no matter who is president. The fucking over of SS is a [I][B]corporate[/B][/I] attack. Mine has already been impacted, hugely negatively, by the Windfall Profits Elimination act, which is utter bullshit, and largely impacts teachers. TEACHERS. Because we make so much money, it's considered some sort of windfall if we get a teacher's pension. About 8 years ago, a Democratic senator tried to do something about this bullshit provision, and NO ONE in Congress gave a shit. They refused to craft a bill. They just shined him on. Because 99% of those fuckers are on the take. Meanwhile, SS steals half of my payments every month and gives the money to the corporate leaders of the country. [/QUOTE]
