Democrats On Social Security: "Do Nothing"

Ron Kind said it this morning on Wisconsin Public Radio: “Even if we do nothing recipients will get 75% of their benefit for 75 years.”

Imagine if someone said to you, “I can offer a retirement plan where I guarantee you will lose at least 25% of your investment.” Would you take it? Seriously?

Republicans should jump all over this, because it amounts to a 25% tax on social security on top of existing taxes on benefits. Either that or Dems raise Social Security taxes on the front end to maintain benefits. The message is clear – Democrats are unwilling to recognize the epic scope of the failure of their most cherished welfare program.

Meanwhile on the economic front, Congressman Kind said that he favors protectionism, essentially, as a strategy for improving the US economy. This must coincide with Obama's decree to "Double exports within five years." Kind wants to hold imports to the same standards we hold ourselves. In other words, the same standards that helped kill American manufacturing - environmentalism, health care, labor progressivism... How can he be that naive?

And right on queue, China launches a preemptive attack, kicking off the trade war that Obama and the Democrats wanted. They are initiating a tariff on chicken imports. Democrats are writing the book on how to destroy capitalism, and don't think for one second that wasn't the plan all along.

The Tea Party has ammuninition for decades.
