Who's greedy? Seniors or Politicians.
« on: March 04, 2011, 12:21:46 AM »
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 fellow 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 dole 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 is 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 “bullshit” on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, 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 Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators who are “greedy”. It is you and they 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 son of a bitch. ”

Before you start going after Simpson too hard you best remember a few details. Like the fact that it was DEMOCRATS that have taken the steps to bankrupt social security... ::)

Disagree on this one. Simpson was in Congress so long he bears some responsibility for the mess we're in. I would need to see his votes on key acts before I can determine how much responsibility he bears. But the fact that he cozied up to bho and actively worked to figure out ways for the American Taxpayer to bail out the mess kongress and bho and W and ...and..and others have made, nails the lid on the coffin.

The only way to fix this financial morass which Simpson et al got us into is to have the .gov stop spending money, pay those debts that are real and important, renege on the rest, and eliminate most of the entitlement programs.

Ask and ye shall receive. I defend him for 2 reasons. 1st Simpson was a very good senator for our state. 2nd, He jumped to be on the debt commission as a way to try to stop the reckless spending. Can you tell me what recommendation the commission made that BHo is actually using?

I don't need Snopes, I REMEMBER when LBJ and the Dem Congress stole SS from the trust fund that the law said it would remain in. ( It was about the same time Jimmy Hoffa was being investigated for doing the same thing to the Teamsters pension fund. He went to prison. )
 I also REMEMBER when Al Gore cast the tie breaking vote to grant SS bennies to illegal aliens.
