I Paid Into My Social Security Fund My Entire Life. My Employers Did Too. TAXPAYERS DID NOT... Republicans Plan To Steal Our Savings... Vote Democratic Nationwide to Prevent The Theft.

Social Security Card for John Q Public 123-45-6789

BOOK: Social Security Works for Everyone!
is an evolution of the argument Social Security 
Works co-founders Nancy J. Altman and Eric R. Kingson made in their acclaimed first book, 
Social Security Works!


Kevin McCarthy Says He Will Cut Social Security and Medicare If He Becomes Speaker. Believe Him!


the White House issued a release on its website —
titled “Congressional Republicans’ Five-Part Plan to
Increase Inflation and Costs for American Families” —
that details how Social Security and Medicare might be
imperiled. Among its points:

The Republican Study Committee, which represents a
majority of House Republicans, has proposed a plan to
cut Medicare and Social Security benefits, including
through privatization and raising the eligibility age.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) has called for putting Medicare
and Social Security on the chopping block every five years.
Sen. Ron Johnson (R.-Wis.) has said Medicare and
Social Security should be put up for a vote every single
year.


Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act prescription drug
provisions would increase prescription drug prices by
eliminating the requirement that drug companies pay
rebates to Medicare when they raise prices faster than
inflation and eliminate the IRA’s $2,000 cap on drug
costs at the pharmacy.


Separately, President Joe Biden told a meeting of 
Democratic National Committee members that 
Democrats are going to “protect” Social Security 
and Medicare.

How is Social Security financed?

Social Security is financed through a dedicated payroll tax.
Employers and employees each pay 6.2 percent of wages up
to the taxable maximum of $147,000 (in 2022), while the
self-employed pay 12.4 percent.

Crime is Much Worse in Republican States. Crazy Gun Laws Cause More Murder. Hopeless Poverty Causes Increase in Theft, Burglary and Armed Robbery... VOTE DEMOCRATIC.

https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem

  • The rate of murders in the US has gone up at an alarming rate. But, despite a media narrative to the contrary, this is a problem that afflicts Republican-run cities and states as much or more than the Democratic bastions.
  • In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden.
  •  8 of the 10 states with the highest murder rates in 2020 voted for the Republican presidential nominee in every election this century.
The Murder Rate is Higher in Republican States - Map - Meme

Red states report higher rates of violent crime than blue states... 


According to 2019 FBI data, seven out of ten states with the highest per-capita rates of violent crime voted Republican in the 2020 election. In contrast, seven out of ten states with the lowest rates voted Democrat.

What IS Bubble UP Economics and How Does it Work? Simply Raise the Minimum Wage to Fifteen Dollars an Hour and Raise all Social Security Checks 15%. Then all Those people will spend the extra money in their paychecks at American Businesses. Increasing Profits. Making Stockholders Happy! Then those businesses will have to hire more people to handle the extra Customers. Decreasing Unemployment Insurance Payments. Everybody WINS! With EMPLOYMENT AT A JOB becoming a Viable Alternative to Selling Drugs for a Street Gang, Some teenagers will choose Employment... Reducing CRIME... Reducing Costs for Prisons... Reducing Costs for Law Enforcement... People will buy more food for their Children. Causing Better Health and Smarter Kids... Starvation is Not Good for Children's Brains... Farmers will sell More. Truckers will move more merchandise to stores. Increased Competition for Workers will cause Everybody's Wages to Go Up. All those Workers will pay more in Income Taxes... That would make the Government happy... Right NOW, we are having a National Debt Ceiling Crisis because the Government is Spending More that it Takes in with Taxes... Bubble UP Economics would reverse that trend... The Money Bubbles UP Through Every Layer of Society... With a rising tide, every boat floats! We Tried Ronald Reagan's "Voodoo" Economics and It Has Failed... "People" Say That Bubble UP! Economics WILL MAKE Employers LAY OFF Workers... However... Employers HAVE ALREADY LAID OFF EVERYONE THEY POSSIBLY CAN... Have you Ever Seen a Business where People Work There but Have Nothing To DO? Never!

I read a Facebook Post From...
Luke Scarmazzo - CURRENTLY INCARCERATED
July 26 at 7:44 AM  · 
Due to the pandemic and the BOP's protocols, we only get 3-hours out of our cell a day. Friday  my time out is from 630am-930am. Saturday morning at 6! One of the least desirable slots (we are also allowed to go outside once a week on Sundays for 45 minutes). This is the most restrictive form of incarceration I've ever experienced. I'm not complaining, I know its based on good intentions, but its difficult to take care of an entire days tasks in 3 hours. Plus on days like today, when there are no obnoxiously long phone lines for once, I cant call home because its 5am on the West Coast. On the street most people get to decide for themselves what precautions they want to take to combat the spread of the virus. Here in prison, we have no choice. We are cattle. It is dictated to us and we must follow the directives or face severe consequences. We cant social distance nor do we get regular access to cleaning supplies and other hygienic items. Some of these BOP protocols are arbitrary and flat out cruel. So I ask: why are we still imprisoning nonviolent drug offenders in these human warehouses that are becoming virus factories? Some facilities have 70% of their population who are covid positive! The rule of law says that us inmates who are housed in these facilities must pay a penalty for breaking the law, but that penalty did not include dying from a preventable virus or facing cruel and unusual and often harsh restrictions. The prison system has an obligation to keep the people who are in its custody safe and healthy. If they're not fulfilling their end of the contract, then prisoners need to be released to home confinement where they can fend for themselves. When applied to us American prisoners Patrick Henry's words hold an ominous truth, "Give me liberty or give me death."

When We Come Back From Trump's Coronavirus... Let's Rebuild The World Using Honesty and Fair Play As Guides... Morality and Sanity... Why Not?

The Entire Concept of Just Making The Rich Richer Makes No Sense... As We All Have Noticed... Corrupt Billionaires Bribe Politicians to Pass Laws That Suck Money From The 99% and Give It To The Super Rich... and They Can't Even Find Things To Spend Their Riches ON... Once You Own Five Private Jet Airplanes... What is the MOTIVATION To Get a Sixth?

For Example: We Spent Vast Sums of Taxpayer Dollars Buying Useless Stuff From The Military Industrial Complex To Fight Bogus Wars... Is There Any MISSION To The Endless War in Afghanistan?  Any GOAL AT ALL? 

No One Needs Apache Helicopters and Yet... Boeing Gets Lucrative Contracts to Build Them... Not Only is It A Waste of Money But People Spend Their Entire Careers Designing Better Ways To Kill... What IF Those Engineers Used their Talents To DO GOOD Instead of DOING EVIL?

The Boeing AH-64 Apache (A Waste Of Money) is an American twin-turboshaft attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. It features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. It is armed with a 30 mm (1.18 in) M230 chain gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage, and four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons for carrying armament and stores, typically a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire missiles and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 has significant systems redundancy to improve combat survivability.

With Marijuana Legal, California is Closing Unused Prisons. Saving Taxpayers a Fortune... By Getting a Clue, Lawmakers have Increased Voluntary Taxes while Saving Money wasted on Law Enforcement... Everybody Wins!

and I Don't Pay a Penny in Weed Taxes because I Don't Smoke! 

one simple trick - Legalize Marijuana


HEADLINE: Northern California prison to close, cutting 1,000 jobs from rural community... Gov. Gavin Newsom’s administration announced plans to close a state prison in rural Lassen County next year, shutting down a site that employed more than 1,000 people and served for decades as a home base for inmate firefighter training.

The announcement follows a long decline in the number of inmates in state custody that accelerated when the coronavirus pandemic hit, compelling the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to quickly draw down its population.

The California Correctional Center in Susanville will close in June 2022, the department announced Tuesday. The 2,064 inmates currently housed there will be transferred to other facilities “based on their housing, custody and rehabilitative needs,” according to a department statement.

SEE? Every Day the World Becomes a Better Place to Live... Can You Imagine That Bribed Lawmakers Actually Made Magic Mushrooms Illegal... WTF? 

Ongoing research shows that psilocybin could help treat certain medical conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and addiction...

https://www.axios.com/denver-magic-mushrooms-decriminalization-psilocybin-63ffdc19-f2b1-421c-ab09-dcf45559bda4.html

The Recover, a national news provider for mental health and substance abuse, recently began releasing news about psilocybin and their potential health benefits.

Psychedelic drugs such as magic mushrooms have long-lasting medical and spiritual benefits, according to a new study. Magic Mushroom Landscape has established a company to evaluate new treatments related to psychedelics and mental health. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/psilocybin-mushrooms-mental-health-research-070000926.html

Nearly two years after Denver made history as the nation’s first city to decriminalize hallucinogenic mushrooms for personal use, the nightmare of rampant abuse and public intoxication feared by opponents has failed to materialize. https://www.latimes.com/world-nation/story/2021-04-05/denver-dabbles-with-magic-mushrooms-but-using-them-to-treat-mental-health-disorders-remains-underground

LSD Psychedelic Art by Greg Vanderlaan vandergreg gvan42 purple64ets gregvan

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

When there was a layoff, my wife suggested that I borrow the car and drive over to the gathering. My friend Mike Jensen wanted to go and so we checked the oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid and water and set out on a classic American road trip. We made it as far as Reno the first day and slept by the side of the road.... READ MORE:

Grateful Deadhead ART and MyStory... American History...

 I first noticed the Grateful Dead in 1968 in English class at junior high school. Our teacher had put up posters on the wall of the classroom and we wrote essays about them.

He was attempting to stimulate creative WRITING but more importantly,
creative THINKING.

One was an American flag made out of swastikas and another was a solarized/negative photo of 5 hairy men standing in front of "LITTLE BOXES" type suburban tract homes.

Our English teacher
stopped working for the school system that year and has never been heard of since. That has happened often to people that go to see the Dead... They change their lifestyle and start associating
with a different set of people...
