Congress doesn't read your Facebook status updates, and they don't care even a little bit about what you are tweeting. Unfortunately, the masses tend to believe that if you write it, they will read it. This is not the case. If you are truly interested in having your elected officials hear your voice, then send them an email instead. The only people that they are actively paying attention to are those of us significantly contributing to them keeping their job$.
Also, sharing is not socialism. It is teamwork. Wanting to do things politically or economically to "help" out your fellow American citizen does not make you a socialist, it makes you a good person. We teach our children to share everything they have. But we are unwilling to put anyone else's needs above those of ourselves or our family. Even though, by doing so, we will all benefit in the not so long away long run.
Social Security. Because people exploit and abuse the system, it does not mean they system itself is bad. It means the system needs to take further preventative measures to regulate and protect the system from the bad people that are doing the exploiting and abusing. Reform = yes, shutting it down = no. Do you not remember that this system saved the lives of your grandparents and their parents? There are good hard working people that use this system properly and they should not be left behind because you are greedy.
Greedy greedy greedy greedy greedy. Stop it. Humanitarianism is not that far off from the lifestyles encouraged by most religion. Which is the backbone of the conservative ticket that is currently too involved in their jobs as politicians to consider what is best for their country.
Just sayin.....
