Another Canadian Palestinian affected, this time killed, in the Israeli genocides which CBC does not report on. I donate to democracy now because I get more news about Canada than I do from the CBC. Why isn't Palestine important to Canadian media???
Oh don’t lie to yourself. If we raised the cap of social security it wouldn’t an issue. The cap is 160,000. I damn well know a lot of people who make more than that and it’s ridiculous argument. I’m against endless wars but social security can be fixed raise the cap
US vetoed the ceasefire resolutions multiple times! The genocide is not done by just Israel but US as well. The bombs, the guns, and the vetoes are all coming from US.
An Absolute of disgrace America for putting these guys back in office. They can spend all this tax paid money for other countries but cannot find the money to make SSN solvent and create a universal healthcare. Shameful
5:26 How many of the poorly educated actually believe the tripe that the well-funded , by FICA taxes, Social Security and Medicare programs contribute to the national debt? Truthful concern about those programs, that take care of your parents and grandparents, can be easily resolved by removing the cap on income for the rich. The one thing Bill Maher got right was when he said, "the American people are stupid."
It is solvent and paid for with FICA taxes from employers and employees. Does NOT add to the national debt as the liars of the xenophobic, racist fascist party try to assert to fools. Social Security and Medicare for All can simply and affordably be funded by eliminating the cap on contributions by rich people. Currently $168,000. Earn millions per year? Stop paying FICA after that $168,000, but still get the same benefits that those low wage earners have to pay into it all year every year.
3rd attempt at the truth, even though joutube/izzytube, and now obviously tRumptube keeps removing it. Social Security and Medicare are fully finded by FICA taxes. In no way does either of them contribute to the national debt, as the tRumptard liar claims. Even if many jobs are eliminated by robots (no offense meant to the trolls), eliminating the $168,000 cap on income payed to FICA will make SS and M4All forever funded. Again, not in any way contributing to the national debt. Why should the rich making millions in income stop paying after $168K, but a low wage earner has to keep paying all year, year after year, yet the rich get get the same benefits?

Sorry to be sacrilegious, but if I were God, I would do everything in my power to stop all these senseless wars that are destroying the lives of so many innocent people, especially children. ☮️
Bravo and keep fighting for your rights Amazon workers. No one is fulfilled at the fulfillment centers until these workers’ right to unionize is recognized and Amazon is held accountable for underpaying and mistreating its workers.
Any changes in Social Security that affects people who already contracted with the Social Security administration would amount to a breach of contract. No contract can be changed or altered after both parties have entered into the contract.
Actually, Trump didn’t win majority but rather a plurality. He has never won a majority ever. What a disgraceful reflection of what we have devolved into is the election of Donald J Trump! Good God Almighty!
We also elected a bunch of non-election deniers to congress, Arizona scored almost two-thirds for a reproductive rights amendment... we just really like Trump. We all liked J6, surprisingly. Very surprisingly and especially in swing states, with weird weird numbers. Oh well.
Why do you all call them martyrs? I don't understand that. To me they are innocent "victims of war" because they are not fighting. They are scared and hiding. They are trying to escape or to be safe from being killed. Sorry. I hope that you will have all the peace that you desire. ☮️
Sigue el genocidio en Gaza. El gobierno de Israel, sigue actuando con impunidad. Y hay que recordar que el sr. Netanyahu y el sr. Gallant, están en búsqueda y captura, por la CPI. Y curiosamente, el sr. Gallant estuvo hace poco aquí en EEUU. Es fuerte que no haya dinero suficiente para seguridad social, ni medicare, si para gasto militar.

@ar4122
Is the US military so weak that it takes eight times as much of it to remain "safe"?
Why why is Israel continues to commit these atrocities and the UN can’t do anything to stop it!
You mean, why Biden and Harris refuse to stop it? Why they, instead, continue to participate in the Genocide.
I'll give you a hint. It starts with Ameri, ends with ca and is covered in green bills.
USA.
US vetoes resolutions. US is complicit in Israel's genocide in Gaza. Israel is lawless and devoid of moral constraints.
US vetoed the ceasefire resolutions multiple times! The genocide is not done by just Israel but US as well. The bombs, the guns, and the vetoes are all coming from US.
