Evil and Transparent.

Editor,

Republicans hate Social Security and Medicare because corporations have to pay the 7.65% employers' FICA contribution.

Republicans hate Obamacare because the "mandate" requires corporations with over 50 full-time employees to pay a tax on full-time employees for whom they do not provide health insurance.

The nonsense that Republican shills for the 1% spout to trick people who benefit from Social Security, Medicare, and Obamacare into thinking they are bad is evil and transparent.

Assad kills Syrians (supposedly) with chemical weapons. Republicans kill Americans by starving them and helping them to die from disease.
