I don't have the luxury of a fat state sponsered benefits package unfortunately. Everything I have I got myself. No one ever gave me anything.

Earlier, just before nu started calling me icecube, someone posted an article written by a NYTimes editorialist. Facts generated by a guy with an axe to grind....nice try but you'll have to a WHOLE lot better than that! \:\)

By the way....I notice that no one took up the tax issue after I burst the bubble with the facts (non NYT) I am gaining ground. \:D

I have also noticed that most here are anti Bush but not pro Kerry....in other words even though JFK is an atrocious candidate, you support him regardless of his record because he isn't GWB.

First, I LIKE IT ROUGH!! BRING IT THE F**K ON!!

Second, My "fat state sponsered benefits package" is something I work very hard for and do so in an environment that most of you wouldn't last an hour, never mind a day! I perform a valuable service to the state, under adverse and dangerous conditions, and I EARN my pay, and my benefits. My career choice goes deeper than lining my own pockets. Like I said to JFM, is that how you feel about Troopers and C.O.'s too? I had considered you a worthy debate adversary, with something intelligent to offer, who made some good points and good arguments, but your ignorance is showing.

BTW, I agree with you about means testing, but feel that privatizing SS would only benefit the wealthy and disenfranchise the other 80 or 90% of the country. Just my 2 cents.
