The following is what I threw back at a Trumpublican asshole on Facebook who dared to claim that Social Security and Medicare are handouts, and should be ended:

“El wrongo, tax evasion breath. Almost all of the top 50 corporations in the United States paid no tax at all. In fact, many of them received handouts from the government. As for the billionaires, most pay at a rate lower than their secretaries, due to loopholes they themselves lobbied for. And here you are, making statements about welfare queens. The fact is that your biggest welfare queens are the rich and the transnational corporations. And let me add that Social Security is not a handout. I paid into it for more than 50 years, and at 72 years old, I am still working and still paying into it. To throw your favorite Charlton Heston quote back at you, you can have my Social Security when you pry it from my cold, dead hands. In addition, I also pay almost 400 dollars a month in medicare premiums for my wife and me. Tell me how that is a fucking handout. The good news is that Joe Biden backed Republicans into a corner during his SOTU speech, and Ron Johnson, Rick Scott, and others won't see their plans to kill Social Security, and steal all the money I and others paid into it, come to fruition. They won't be pushing grandma off a cliff any time soon either. Joe not as sleepy as you thought, is he? Checkmate, motherfucker. Long live Dark Brandon. LOL.”

I am sick to death of listening to these thieves, and whether or not they want to listen to me, I am now throwing the facts back in their faces. I will no longer stay silent while they lie, and if you are over 65, you should not stay silent either. This is war.
