Sorry I thought everyone in the military signed up with social security and was entitled to the benefits.
Maybe I was wrong here...........
No more so then anyone else.
In fact, I think as a retired military member enters the age of SS, there is an offset between payments.
Kind of punishment if you ask me.

What part of my statement is unsubstantiated nonsense?
I have always paid lower taxes and done better while Reps were in charge.

Now you are just making things up. Obama has a long way to go still to do the financial damage to the country Bush did and that can be reflected easily in real numbers. Seen any of them?

Its pretty simple. I may hate the bankers but "tax and spend" is a false accusation on the part of repubican strategy. The democrats are for fiscal responsibility and balancing the books. Clinton was a shinning example of this!

"I spit on you on the way to work!" I disagree with host Cenk here..."Work?" Laughable.
This kind of explains why we "can't get a tax on millionaires when 84% of the country agrees..." but it is OK to raise PAYROLL TAXES on lowly workers instead? Kind of a sneaky and hypocritical tactic isn't it?
If you dare...
WASHINGTON — House Republicans will consider President Barack Obama's proposal to expand a payroll tax cut for businesses and employees, House Republican Leader Eric Cantor said Thursday.
"Republicans are not for allowing tax increases for anyone, we don't believe in that," Cantor told Reuters. "So I do think that the payroll tax provision that the president proposed tonight is something that will be a part of the discussions going forward."
In an interview to be published in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she thought the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on abortion was predicated on the Supreme Court majority's desire to diminish “populations that we dont want to have too many of.”
In the 90-minute interview in Ginsburg’s temporary chambers, Ginsburg gave the Times her perspective on Judge Sonia Sotomayor, President Obama’s first high court nomination. She also discussed her views on abortion.
Q: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?
JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.
Holdren believed a world government might play a moderate role in the future: setting and enforcing appopriate population levels, taxing and redistributing the world's wealth, controlling the world's resources, and operating a standing World Army.

Republicans tax everyone less and then spend at least twice as much on average than democrats.
Democrats tax more and spend less.
Cenk is a dumba$$... He is confusing "payroll tax-cuts" with payroll taxes... TWO DIFFERENT THINGS YOU MORON... (That was directed at the host of that video Cenk)
and a "tax increase" overall.
