They are incapable of doing anything in the private sector. They have zero talent or skills.

Nixon's henchmen scuttled the Paris Peace talks to win the presidency, even Senator Dirksen, the Republican Senate minority leader, agreed that this was treason. Reagan's henchmen dealt with Iranian authoritarian leaders to keep the US hostages captive until he was president, even illegally selling them arms to fund illegal CIA wars in Central America. Barr, yes the same one as Trump's attorney general, told Bush the First to pardon Reagan's henchmen. The Republican supreme court stopped the vote counting in Florida, stopping vote counting is becoming a popular Republican pastime, allowing Bush the Second to take office. The Republican Senate refused to even give a hearing to Obama's supreme court nominee, and then under Trump rushed through Trump's nominee in haste.
So why wouldn't we believe that the Republicans would gut Social Security just because they pull out their old and tattered "senior-friendly" facade.

Remember the Reagan Republican Social Security cuts !

All republican owned businesses should reject doing business or receiving money from persons on Social Security.

No campaign contributions from any individuals receiving SS.
