Musk targets Social Security with blatant misinformation
Lacessit replied to Jingthing's topic in Political Soapbox
It's pretty obvious what the real problem is - wealth inequity, and a cockeyed tax system. In 2016 and 2017, Trump paid $750 in taxes. Someone earning $50,000 pa paid tax of $5914. The people getting the really big bucks obviously have too many loopholes. When you have 3 multi-billionaires sitting on more money than the bottom 150 million Americans, IMO the tax system is broken. -
Oh dear, YT is projecting his lifeless minuscule willy again.

I am on a part pension from Australia. I have investment assets as well, which generate income. In Australia, living costs are so high my capital in those investments erodes. In Thailand, my capital increases. I am making money in retirement. In old age, I would have to settle for eating dog food in Oz. Aged care there is a licence to print money for Singapore based corporations. Here, I live well, and have a GF 23 years younger than me, who will take care of me until I draw my last breath. It's a no-brainer.

I have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxes during my working life. Under the Australian system, I am eligible for an age pension provided I meet the income and assets test criteria. Who the hell are you, to tell me where I should spend it? -
IMO Putin has something with which to blackmail Trump. Given the number of transgressions Trump already has on his checklist, it must be something extremely damning.

Run the risk of being made a political hostage on the whim of Kim? Pass. -
I can remember turning up at a Bangkok Bank branch in Chiang Mai, armed only with my passport and 10,000 baht in cash. Took about 20 minutes of signing forms, and I was good to go. I can also remember renting a scooter without having to produce any form of driving licence.
