How would the Tea party members feel if Prez Obama Said " I give in,We're Ending Medicare and Social Security!?

Many of them must be happily collecting their Social Security benefits, because I don't know about you, but I sure can't afford to take off from my job to attend all these mid-week rallies they have! But yes, many of them oppose government's role in providing any sort of "safety net." Ironic how, though many Tea Partiers are the sort of religious conservative who will scoff at Darwin's theory of evolution, they are the very sort of people who want to practice what is known as "Social Darwinism."

That is, if you go broke and have no retirement savings, too bad. Sucks to be you. Now, get your grubby hands out of my pockets.

Mind you, these are the same people who have been decrying the health reform bill because it represents "socialized medicine," when in fact, many of those protesters in later news interviews have remarked how much they love their Medicare...which is as close as we in the United States come to "socialized medicine." So you gotta take these kinds of Tea Party "suggestions" with not just a grain, but a whole block of salt. In truth, I think these suggestions are made just to get attention from the media, anyway.

I'd bet if you had honest, down-to-earth dinner-table conversations with many of these Tea Party protesters, they'd feel like you. They've paid into the system their whole lives, and they feel they deserve to get the benefit of paying into the system. I'd bet they'd want to do what Bush, Jr. proposed-- partially privatize the system to make it a little more like a 401(k), and lock it up so that the government can't use it for anything else.

That's something a lot more of us could see the benefit of, and it would behoove the Tea Partiers to take that more moderate, reasoned stance instead of having this "kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out" attitude that they display at protests.

I don't think those in the Tea Party really know what they're protesting against. Ever since the movement was infiltrated by the Republicans via Sarah Palin. Their message has become one of valid points to regurgitated Republican rhetoric.

I'm sure that the ones that are currently receiving Social Security checks don't want that program abolished. Now it's just a pick and choose protest movement. If it will affect them personally then they want to keep it if it doesn't and benefits someone else it's un Constitutional.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
