This Gal hit it right on the head.....
Whether this is a legit letter or not, the sentiments are well spoken and deserve wide circulation.
She is telling it like it is. It is our money.
I don't think pissed really covers it!
Alan
Simpson, the Senator from Wyoming calls senior citizens the 'Greediest
Generation' as he compared Social Security to a Milk Cow with 310
million teats.
Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I think she is a little ticked off! She 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 (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 losers in return for votes, thus
bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme
that would make 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 our 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" to 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 called
Congress who are the "greedy" ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase
thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from
millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.
And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed, leech.
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. NO, I did not stutter.
P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT AN INSULT!!!!
I
have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years “It's my money”-give
it back to me the way the system was designed and stop patting yourself
on the back like you are being generous by doling out these monthly
checks!
