Conservatism is calling

Quote: When Warren Buffet said the tax rate should be higher, I remember some people telling him and him alone to pay more if that is his belief. Well, if any of you guys think that there is too much "entitlement" given out the government, your can promise to not collect social security. Why add to the deficit?

I personally agree with Warren Buffett. I am firmly a right-leaning center guy, but who is this Grover Nohrquist, and why does he have the GOP by the b*lls? I never voted for they guy.

Back to social security: How did it become known as an entitlement? I am not naive enough to think that it will be my only means of support, but I also know that it's something I have paid for with every paycheck I have received. The media has allowed the self-serving politicians to shift it into the same category as food stamps. If it truly is an entitlement, let me have all the money I have deposited, and I will invest it in something more 'noble'.
