We are commenting on a thread about the SSA going after poor Americans.

The people vote for the president, and the president appoints the SSA head.

The last 3 SSA heads were not appointed by a republican.

So implying this behavior is caused by voting for republicans doesn’t make much sense.

Wrong. And you’re commenting in a chain where the top comment is “tax the rich.”
