The republicans are beginning to make an absolutely idiotic argument (gee, whaddasurprise) about Social Security. They contend that 1) blacks have shorter life expectancies (which is a fallacy of statistics, BTW) 2) thus, blacks should support SS piratization to get their money.
This of course should immediately allow Democrats to change the subject.
- I am so pleased to see you republicans supporting the health of all persons.
- Many of the persons who die young do so because they do not have health care.
- Thus, before we piratize Social Security, we should ensure that everyone, regardless of race, class, salary level or status in life, has access to health care.
- Thus, it is now clear that the Republican Party supports universal health care.
