For me that would qualify people who have certain disabilities, mental and physical, women or men with small children or those who have lost jobs. Just to name a few. Note he says "benefits for those who really NEED them." This I do agree with.

I don't think it's a good idea for an older retiree's like Bob to piss off younger private sector taxpayers like Warren. I think its pretty stupid understanding the separation/ the gap that clearly exists between the private sector's (Republican/Libertarian voters) and the public sectors (Democratic/Progressive voters).

I don't think Warren is that much younger than me.  If he is the Warren Dew I think he is, we weren't quite in the same gaming / social circle back in the late 1970s and 80s, but our circles (MITSGS) intersected in the days when fantasy role playing was young.

In my youth, writing software was fun, but the stress load increased with time and a changing industry.  I retired early.  Still, your presumption that he is private sector while I was public sector is misguided.  I was private sector through my whole career.

You were private sector your entire career and you bowed out early because you couldn't adjust and adapt to the changes. So, what are you now? Do you normally make fun of people who have been shut out/blocked from doing work. Sooner or later, you blue dudes are going to have to show us that you're worth our continued support and social alliance. We ain't there yet but we are moving in that direction. Does loosing 30% of your retirement package sound ok/doable to you?

Suggestion, give up on the extreme partisan labeling and insulting and learn to directly communicate aka honestly negotiate. You preferred a democratic manage style and your boss agreed to go along with it. As your boss, I would have agreed with you too as long as I knew that I was looking at a serious, ambitious and talented group who have worked pretty well together who really wanted to accomplish things. What role would you like me to play Bob? The role of an employee. The role of a manger/boss. The role of a business owner. The role of an entrepreneur. The role of a pivotal board member. The role of a chief executive officer. You can laugh at my writing all you want, I know what on my resume up to this point. BTW, if I truly believed that all lefties were either in it for a free ride or looking for a free ride. I would have completely wrote the Democratic party off a long time ago and I wouldn't be here posting with them today.
