[QUOTE="BrownBrokeDown, post: 1854945, member: 46824"] I had a conversation with my 84 year old grandfather the other day. His life experience is post Teddy Roosevelt(who would be ran out of town by modern Republicans). He said something along the lines of "I don't understand why any regular worker would vote for any Republican. I have never seen a single one do anything that helped the majority of worker's and most make the workers lives worse. They try to break the union's, they try to make wages less (he was talking about minimum wage), and they take away any help that anyone would need. There is nothing wrong with SS if they would stop messing with it. I paid on it for my entire life, the money is there if they quit taking the suplus and not paying it back. I just don't get how people can't see it." Now this was a paraphrase as I don't remember exact words obviously. I hesitated to post all of this (because i will be derided for it), but as I get older I have realized the old man generally knows what he is talking about in life and wish I had listened to him when I was younger. I wish a few of you on here would go find someone you trust that was alive late 30's into 40's saw the heyday of early 50's through early 70's and just ask them the differences between then and now.
