Walz: Just like Elon Musk talks about entitlement programs. Those aren't entitlement programs. Those are the things keeping my mom alive. She paid into social security for 80 years. She should get that money back. And that's not what they believe

This feeds into Musk‘s idiotic characterization of Social Security as a Ponzi scheme. We pay premiums on a kind of whole-life insurance policy, and we are entitled to the payoff. If the company doesn’t go out of business, it pays your due. Of course, they want to put the government out of business.
Bunch of other people have a lot to say in person, a swell.. find your local Tesla and let them know their stock price drop is intentional mismanagement. https://www.tesla.com/findus
If you “believe” millionaires and billionaires are ENTITLED to money they didn’t EARN, designated to provide benefits to those less fortunate you are a THIEF!
Some Americans seem to imagine that Trump will rebuild a new country after he tears down the old one.
Well, I'm afraid I'm going to have to disappoint you.
He can't and won't build anything.
He's going to do what he's always done - get the hell out and let someone else take the fall.
60+ years contributing to a government-controlled investment fund.
Lower returns for guaranteed benefits.
go steal money from people looking for higher returns from riskier investments.
hands off my money.
I mean, they ARE entitlement programs, because we are entitled to them!!! "Entitlement" is not a bad thing if you are actually entitled to what's being discussed!
Journalists in the White House who are you ?
“He did’t mean it”
Or your silence to a dement insane Donald J Trump.
Imagine if Biden or Hilary Clinton had done the same .
Trump demand who are a jew and who are NOT, like Adolf . https://youtu.be/n804BwrNwQo?si=_aAYYO2p8q4N13fq
Somehow Republicans made “entitlements” a dirty word. By definition, an entitlement is something to which you are entitled. With Social Security, for example, having paid into the program, you are entitled to receive from it.
They’ve confused the term with“entitled people”—those who FEEL entitled.
I voted for him and Kamala, but I hate this logic: Social Security is not a savings account that you get back. Your $ is helping those who need it today; when you need it, the $ is coming from those paying into it then. I hope Walz knows this, and I hate the perpetuation of this idea.
I guess Musk needs a lesson in speaking English. Yes FICA-SS and FICA-Med are deductions that have come out of every one of my paychecks my entire life. Yes I'm entitled to every penny of it, since it's a TRUST FUND! So YES I'm entitled! You are not entitled to STEAL IT, Musk!
If they want to cancel the program, they need to pay every penny back to anyone who put in for it. They also need to stop charging current workers for it. We are all owed what we put in and they want to use it as their own personal slush fund and not pay back the money they took out.
is a helluva lot more important than billionaire bros
unless we are talking about Maye Musk, in which case that is a private matter btwn she and her boy.
Can we stop using the word “entitlement” like it’s a bad word? It’s not. It means exactly what you said — money you’re *entitled* to becayse you’ve paid into it.
I have my SSA statement, and am ready for my refund if they shut it down. I would also like to propose that US Taxes are becoming a ponzi scheme for oligarchs who run this country.
The billionaire should leave Medicaid, Medicare and SS alone. Medicare and SS are paid for by workers, and SS protects both the elderly and children. Medicaid provides needed healthcare for millions. Just unbelievable. PUSHING BACK WORKS.
"Trump's...technological imperialist/monarchist plans of Elon Musk’s Neo-Reactionary (NRx)...philosophy. NRx is a belief that democracy must be eliminated and the country run under a corporatist, technological dictatorship..."
I have social security as my sole income. It must be preserved, not an entitlement. I paid my first dollar into it when I was 12 & I'm in my seventies. We need to speak factually. Social Security started in 1935. Did Walz mean his mother is 80 yrs. old? Not possible to pay in for 80 years. 🤔
Elon Musk takes in $8 million a day in entitlement from the American taxpayer. The biggest “welfare queen” in this country is a Nazi from South Africa.
We could've had a realistic, empathetic Minnesotan at the helm backing an extremely qualified, absolutely phenomenal black woman and instead we get a dusty cheeto, a couch-fucker, and a modern day Rasputin.

Tim Walz for president.
We should all get OUR money back. WE INVESTED THAT MONEY FOR OUR FUTURE USE.🤨
Mom

They are called that because each American owns the title to that asset.
I wonder how that would do in a focus group.

I am entitled to get them because I have paid into them my entire life.,
Stop trying to play cutesy with phrase-policing as "messaging".
We really do not deserve nice things.
