Social Security equals welfare....

[Bigmack]

That asshole Johnny Hart has done it again. After I gagged my way thru the editorial pages on the local paper. (San Diego Union Tribune - A Copley RW rag) I turned to the funnies for a little humor therapy.

"Did our welfare checks come yet?" "You mean Social Security checks?" "Whatever."

Go ahead... teach your fundiesheep followers that SS is the same as welfare, Johnny.... maybe they won't take theirs when the time comes. More for me, shithead!

1. He's gotta be like 90 or so.

Wanna bet he cashes his 'welfare' check every month?

2. let's see, what else is wrong with this...

the u.s. mail is as slow as a turtle
and
welfare/social security recipients are snakes in the grass.

think all that symbolism is an accident? I don't.

3. I wish they'd told me that before I paid for mine all my life don't ...

you? Every paycheck even the ones from the Army took out money for MY retirement. EXXON is on Welfare and so is Halliburton, but I ain't!

[Joe Chi Minh]

10. And they have the infernal gall to sneer at what they are

pleased to call the "Nanny State"! The people who pay taxes are supposed to want it to go to the "Psychopath
State" instead! What moronic, thieving right-wing scum. They make darned sure the tax-payers' money goes to their good selves, the snakes-in-suits, anyway - whether we like it or not. Give us back our Nanny State, you thieving low-lifes! It was never meant for you!

4. God, I wish the Repubs would start calling Social Security

welfare, I really do. No more of this "we're trying to strengthen SS through private accounts." Tell the truth of your philosophy.

9. Poppy's Bush's government pension is what I'd call welfare.

Handing out Billions of dollars to the Oil Companies last year in Bush's energy bill is what I call giving welfare checks to people who don't deserve it. Then we see that last year EXXON made over 39 billion and The Queen's, Royal Dutch Shell, made over 25 billion, and the Saudis built a god damned giant ski slope indoors, in the 120 degree desert, because they had nothing better to spend all the money on, that Bush helped them steal from you and me.

5. I wonder if private pension plans are "welfare" too

They are funded the same way.

[neoblues]

8. Well, that sounds fair to me...

No, SS is not "welfare". Then again, what's wrong with "promoting the general welfare"?

[The Backlash Cometh]

6. Are you sure he's conservative?

Could also be pointing out to conservatives that they don't like welfare, but social security is a welfare type program. I always get Republican seniors on this. They always respond, "Yeah, I have to think about that a bit."

[ISUGRADIA]

7. He's a fundamentalist christian anti-evolutionist

this is nothing new for him.

[The_Casual_Observer]

11. Johnny Hart probably never paid in, so he won't get any

and he's pissed.

[JuniperLea]

12. Fine!

Give me back every stinking dime I paid into SS and I won't collect!

Like my grandpa used to say... Jesse James had a horse and two guns. All these guys have is a building, but they rob you just the same.

[Deja Q]

13. Of course they'll take theirs. They think they're ENTITLED...

to the whole damn world.

[McCamy Taylor]

14. Way to lose the grey-hair vote.
