Ron Paul Collects Social Security Checks

http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jun/20/health/la-pn-ron-paul-social-security-opponent-acknowledges-he-receives-benefits-20120620



So Ron admits he breaks the constitution (he claims SS is unconstitutional)

uh oh

he never said he would end it over night. Actually if you care to be accurate, he said he would cut spending in other areas... wars and military empire, and start making a slow transitional move away, but no body would be just cut off over a day or a month or year. He would allow young people to opt out and decide what is the best choice for them, not to be required through a mandate, if they want to stay in those programs they can, if they don't they aren't forced to.

This. Even if you disagree with Ron Paul's stance there is nothing wrong with him collecting social security. He put money into the system and deserves to collect it.

I think its pretty hypocritical, when your campaigning on ending the FED and deregulating our currency while being a millionaire, same thing with SS, he wants to destroy it, but yep, he still collects.

Rons cool but he is like a poor mans Ross Perot

woah bird, why shouldnt he collect back on a program he invested unwillingly in for over 40 years???

fact is that people who actually pay SS will die before they ever get their money back, much less interest on a 40 yr loan to the goverment thus the ponzi scheme continues

because, its really simple, he says it is unconstitutional and should be destroyed (so all of us who paid into it don't get to collect) but he does.

Thats bullshit imo

this thread is embarrassing Bird

think rationally for a second. Yes, it is unconstitutional. No, he never said destroy it. He said make a slow transitional move away from it by allowing younger generations the ability to opt out. He had no choice but to pay and collect SS as it was a mandate.

Also, stop being so over dramatic about ending the FED too. Again, he never said end it over night. He said allow for competing currencies, which if the FED policies are so perfect as you would tell us, and they are doing absolutely nothing wrong (LOL), that really wouldn't hurt them at all.

embarrasing me, lol says the guy who implies our government faked killing Bin Laden and then killed the members of the Navy Seal team who actually did it........all because i stated Ron Pauls OWN position.

keep patting yourself on the back and trashing the country you live in.
