Social Security

[wompus]

Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's deficit
commission, calls senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he
compared "Social Security" to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.
August, 2010.

Here's a response in a letter from a unknown farmer in
Montana ....I think he is a little ticked off! He also tells it
like it is !

"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public tit for
FIFTY YEARS.

2.. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I
was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other
Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account
for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account
and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for
votes, thus
bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi
scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.

4. Recently, just like Lucy& Charlie Brown, you and your ilk
pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American
seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full
retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill
commission are proposing to move the
goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into
Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the
rules of the game.. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts
of the economy
to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay
the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income
taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes
yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money
so profligately that
you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you
come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off
YOUR debt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To add insult to injury, you label us "greedy" for calling
"bullsh*t" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullsh*t, I have a
few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers
during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career,
and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from
the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you
proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as
usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullsh*t, and your political co-conspirators
called Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your
fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American
dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what?
Votes. That's right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for
the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You
know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable ASS . .

The only problem is they get something like this and they laugh because they have bought enough votes with the money they stole to not get ousted from office I say go back to the Constitution and it says that any law that they pass also applies to them also

Good responce.

They want to cut many programs but not once have I heard anything about cutting their pay or their lucrative retirement. They have so many aides doing their work for them. Shouldn't they be doing the work and get rid of the many aides each political puke has? Just a thought.

[ringadingh]

Ideally I guess we should have been politicians, we'd all be retired now, quite nicely.

Dave I didn't have my hearing aid on, what did you say?

One of these days they (politicians) will get what they deserve.

[ridemslow]

Well put, sad thing is, it will never see light of day. The letter that is.

[glwilson]

Why are those already receiving S.S. benefits freaking-out about having them cut?

It is always those receiving S.S. now that are belly-aching about getting benefits cut; as if that is ever going to happen. No one has even come close to saying those receiving benefits now will get them cut.

If anyone should be belly-aching... it should be those that have to pay more to support those already receiving benefits; and because THEY are the ones that are getting future benefits cut. Geez... ::)

It is those receiving S.S. benefits now that let the politicians run off the rails for decades. They were the ones that voted for these idiots. They are the ones that didn't pay any attention to the raping the politicians were giving them. No one is more to blame for where we are at currently than those who have lived in this country the longest and allowed this to happen.

If there is any b!tching to be done around this nation it should be from the younger generation left cleaning-up the mess they inherited. ;)

Greg,

You're going to have AARP knocking on your door!

Dave,

I really don't give a damn at this point. ;)

I have never seen this country so screwed-up in my lifetime. Wacko's are just coming out of the woodwork from everywhere (mostly Washington D.C.).

Why can't we all just be friends?
