It is amusing when Democrat Party politicians become victims of crime. The Democratic Party is the pro Criminal political party.

" California Senate candidate Rep. Adam Schiff was given a rude welcome to San Francisco on Thursday as he was reportedly a victim of a carjacking just hours before a ritzy campaign dinner.

" According to The San Francisco Chronicle, thieves broke into his car that was parked in a downtown parking garage and stole his bags. Without business clothes to wear, Schiff still proceeded to the event in shirt sleeves and a hiking vest, according to the Chronicle, with others dressed in suits. "

When you ask Kevy-boy or any other Leftist on OPP a direct question, you either get an insult or they take the Fifth. They can't deal with facts. They don't know what a fact is. They constantly post opinions disguised as facts. All you have to do is call them on it, and they flee the scene of the crime.

The alternative is Joe Biden.

Hate speech is whatever speech you dislike. Free speech is anything you approve of. I say that pretty much covers everything.

I am naturally paranoid when things do not go as they used to. Like the IRS suddenly asking for documentation they never needed before and holding up my tax refund. I got the money finally, but no interest.

But something definitely changed here on OPP with the topics. I have cut back posting a lot because of the problems.

Again you are completely misinterpreting my words. Instead of addressing my concerns you are giving me a pep talk about how good Social Security has been. I know all of that because I have been on it for nearly 2 years.

Social Security has real problems, which you and Joe the Idiot are content with pushing off until they can't be pushed off anymore. Joe the Idiot doesn't care because at his age, he won't see the problems unfold.

Are you sure you are not working in the Biden Administration ? You sure talk as if you do.

Responses to my posts are puzzling.

Maybe my topics just disappear fast, but in the last so many months I post them and usually I do not see them. I also get far fewer response than I ever did. It could be that my quality is down. I have seen others topics stay at the top of the list and I never seem to ever get near the top or even on the list. I've been thinking that some metric changed on this site that I am running afoul of.

Thank you for your help.

I am failing to make myself clear. I pride myself in making the complex understandable to anyone who wants to listen. Since it can't be me, it must be that you do not want to listen. But I love a challenge. Let me put it yet another way.

You cannot just keep giving away free stuff. Eventually the slackers get too greedy and the producers of wealth get smart and stop producing. You good folks on the Left love to cite the Scandinavian countries as success stories of how socialism can work, whilst we who are right cite Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela as horrible failures.

So lets us look as your success stories. Those countries are more and more realizing the failures of Socialism and moving in the opposite direction.

I am impressed. My challenges, meager as they are do not get accepted in the main by you good folks on the Left. Your honesty is appreciated. It's like when I am forced to admit to having senior moments just like President Biden, but then I do not have millions of lives in my hands.

Oh speaking of Joe's senior moments, did you hear, did you hear the latest ? This is just too good to not repeat. The writers on SNL can't write stuff like this.

" "I don’t know why we’re surprised by Trump. How many times does he have to prove we can't be trusted?" Biden said. "

Thank you, but not what I meant. For a long time my new topics seem to not appear as I think they should. I do not see them on the list of new topics in the main category. Except in my list of my own topics, I generally can't find them. I wondered where you found this one listed ?

Here is a question. I dare you to answer. In your life have you never engaged in speech in a locker room, a bar, or in your own home, that if it was recorded and played back publicly would be as embarrassing as what Trump was recorded saying ?

Unlike you, I can actually explain in detail what I find problematic with your words. If adjusting the funding with Social Security was as simple as you think it is, it would have been done decades ago. You suffer from that Obama consequence free syndrome where you assume that all you must do is wish something, and shazam it comes true with no costs. Barry Obama thought he would magically solve health care costs by willing it to be so. The economics of solving the problem meant nothing to him.

The taxes for Social Security have a cost on the economy. Why are the tax rates currently at 6.2 % for wage earners and the same for their employers ? Essentially 12.6 % in total. Here is another relevant fact. When Social Security began the tax rate for wage earners, in January of 1937 was 1 %, and employers also 1 %. Why was it not put up to the current rate at the beginning ? In 1960 it was still only 3 %.

You have no clue what I am talking about. You know nothing about history or economic consequences. The higher you put the rate up, the more drag on the economy. Why do we even have other deficits ? We have them because actually putting the taxes up to a high enough level to have no deficit, would crush the economy.

Here is a thought, since you think raising the rate has no downside, why not raise it to 50 % ? Everyone will pay 50 % of their wages to Social Security, and their employers can kick in another 50 %. As that idiot Occasio-Cortez might say, gee that was easy.

I just explained why your thinking does not work. Instead of simply calling my remarks idiotic, as you have been, why not in detail lay out where I have it wrong ? I double dog dare you !

If what you say is true, a smart woman such as yourself would have no trouble dissecting the things I say and proving them idiotic. In all of our conversations you have never attempted, much less succeeded, in doing that.

I hope the rest of your day is a pleasant one.
