Social security scam on the poor and middle class

    The new scheme/scam for paying Social Security checks late to some recipients is a new glitch for the poor and middle-class. People who pay their rent with their SS checks and low-level mom-and-pop landlords are going to have to shuck and jive to manage their money.

The rich will probably charge their renters a fee for being late, and real estate corporations and management companies have an excess to cover such things. Lobby your Republican representative to reverse this change.

Part of the reason this is happening is the government is running out of money. If the corporations paid their proper percentage of taxes, the government could pay for all the programs that support the majority's efforts to gain the American Dream. Screw the trickle-down economics. All life grows from the ground up; "the people" should be supported. Don't give more money to the rich because they hide it and we all suffer.
