Tom Cole, human feces from Oklahoma just said this on CNN.
This statement is a lie.
If you made the rich pay taxes like the rest of us, and you made corporations pay taxes like small business, you could balance the budget without forcing granma on a cat food diet, and make her live in her car.
If you don't resist what the Republican Scum Machine has coming, you don't deserve a meal, or a bed in retirement.
I Am 100% Full Resistance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We are still collecting more than we are paying.
Lie, lie, lie.
Republicans are all scumbags.
Maxine Waters is right.

I will never understand the working people who vote Republican.
And I am so tired of being lied to by Rethuglicans and how they are permitted to do so constantly and with impunity.

Just like if I go to a store, buy things, pay for them, then I am entitled to leave the store with my purchases.
Actually I like the word. If some right wingers (not you) want to try to make it out to be a synonym for "handout", I could care less to put it mildly.
Yes, "earned benefits" is even better. But entitlements is just fine too.

(2,577 posts)They make it seem like something we are entitled to (earned benefits) is a bad thing ... something that should be taken away. That is why I push the term benefits--to remind all the people who vote against their best interests that they have EARNED their Social Security and Medicare.

I hope you push the term "earned benefits" or "paid benefits" or similar. Just "benefits" sounds like a handout or the unfortunately demonized term "welfare"
