Every day, AMAC members are chiming in on Newsline content in the comments section with their own bold takes and smart insights. Here are a few of the best member-generated remarks from this past week.
In response to “Left-Wing Lawfare Goes Global,” Philip wrote:
“Of course, lawfare is global. Look at all the conservative leaders or candidates who are being “investigated” by their countries’ courts–France, Romania, Israel, etc.
Soros’s arms are LONG and so are those of his Communist buddies!”
In response to “Massachusetts Becomes Hotbed of ‘Sanctuary City’ Insanity,” Jim wrote:
“If these illegal aliens commit more crimes after being released by the state and city officials, those officials should also be charged as aiding and abetting their crimes.”
In response to “DOGE, Musk Find 5.5 Million Non-Citizens With Social Security Numbers, 1.13 Million On Medicaid, Many Registered To Vote As Trump Issues Election Integrity Executive Order,” Tommy wrote:
“If it weren’t for the great generations before us, America would be a second world country … at best.”
In response to “Musk Says Social Security Recipients to Receive ‘More Money’ Under DOGE’s Cost-Cutting Work,” Larry wrote:
“What is not being said is that there are no 130+ year olds receiving Social Security payments. It’s some relative or someone illegally receiving them in that name. That has to stop, it’s costing those of us who are legally receiving Social Security, who have worked 50+ years to earn it.”
In response to “The Left’s Imaginary COVID ‘Reckoning’,” Anna wrote:
“Biden’s administration cared for us all like a good daddy would. He was so worried about our health that 10 million illegals were allowed in, out of love for us, crime, diseases, and child trafficking, it was all for us. High treason without consequences.”
In response to “Reforming ‘Bail Reform’ – It is Time,” Sean wrote:
“You do the crime, you do the time, or, maybe worse, depending on the crime. Nothing off the table, NO mercy.”
In response to “Trump Admin. Investigates Secret Gender Transitions in Maine Schools,” Charlotte wrote:
“The Marxists do not care what any laws state. They are hell-bent on making this country into a Marxist/Communist State, and the easiest way to get there is through our kids in schools. Anyone who knows anything about history knows that. This is why our kids have been brain-washed for at least the last 40 years.”
In response to “DOGE Sparks International Government Efficiency Push,” Liz wrote:
“A very simple question-Why would any US citizen be against exposing the trove of US taxpayer money wasted on any project not benefiting US citizens?”
In response to “Big Soda Schemes to Keep Americans Unhealthy,” Melinda wrote:
“Just as listeners should be able to choose NPR or PBS, people should be able to choose the food and drink they want, while being aware of the risks. But that doesn’t mean the rest of us should subsidize their choices.”
There will be plenty of news -and comments – to come in the big week ahead. Be sure to stay tuned to AMAC Newsline for all the latest developments, and most importantly, leave your thoughts for a chance to be featured in the next showcase of AMAC member reactions!
What can be more dangerous than a communist billionaire?
Social Security has to be changed!
First get the government out of our money by using it as a slush fund.
Second, when anyone starts putting in that money has to be put in their name. From this point you have the option of investing ( as government employees now have, did you know that?)OR just letting it go at 1 to 2 percent. (I would rather put it in the market and have it grow at ten plus percent).
But when you retire that money is YOURS to do as you wish.
SS has been a shell game and another way the government grows and taxes you. That’s why reforms have not been implemented!
This article was very choice!
I agree with RPM’s previous comment; Social Security has to be changed. Transition from a Ponzi scheme to a 401K, Roth IRA, Thrift savings plan type of system. It can remain a mandatory contribution, untouchable until retirement age, type of program. The owner (i.e. the contributor) could pick from a list of pre-selected investment plans (mutual funds, savings bonds or savings accounts) to allow their contribution to grow with time, thus increasing the payout at retirement. Payout would be based on life expectancy tables. Any amount remaining in the account at death, would be paid to a beneficiary of the contributor’s choosing. Like a Roth IRA, proceeds would be tax exempt to the owner or his beneficiary. This is assuming we still have an arcane income tax instead of a consumption (Sales) tax…
