In 1930s in response to Great Depression,FDR created programs to even the playing field between the ‘haves’ 1%(millionaires) & ‘have-nots’ 99% (YOU!). Social Security, Unemployment,Medicare,co pensions,bank regulations. Repubs been pissed and trying to claw back benefits ever since-DON’T LET THEM!!

Since GOP super power is repeatedly bringing up old shit—How’s that 401(k) working out for everyone? Is it better than the security of the company paid pension you had before Reagan stole it from you? Didnt think so. Next on their agenda: Eliminate Social Security. We can’t let this happen!!
