BarryLS1,

Increasing taxes on working people is NOT cutting seniors.

Taxing retiree benefits and raising the retirement age are effectively cuts to senior benefits.

Taxes get increased all the time and will continue to be be raised.

Grover Norquist is very upset with you right now 🙂

That is a far cry from scaring seniors, who are current recipients, that the Republicans will cut or even take away many seniors sole source of income. That scare tactic is despicable and can literally take years off a person’s life.

I agree with you 100% about scare tactics. Both parties utilize them extensively, however, not just one.
