Plenty of celebrities are registering their outrage over the GOP’s tax reform plan. And we might be willing to take them a little more seriously if they could actually convince us that they had even the slightest clue what they’re talking about.
Take “The Wire” star Wendell Pierce, for instance:
Medicare and Social Security are NOT ENTITLEMENTS. You earned those every day you worked since that Summer job at 14yrs. old. You EARNED them. They were deducted from your paycheck for the day you need them. Now the GOP wants to steal your money sitting in an account waiting.

Dude. You’re kidding, right?
Nope:
To my fellow Americans that voted for Trump and the GOP: remember your Medicare and Social Security is yours. It’s not a hand out. You WORKED for it. Don’t let your party take away what you earned. That is thievery and unAmerican

Oh, Wendell … bless your heart. Money sitting in an account waiting! Adorable.
This is not true.

Oh… my… God. Having read that I feel as if intellect has been sucked from the very fabric of space.
