Senator Alan Simpson Calls Seniors 'Greediest Generation'...
« on: January 06, 2011, 05:45:23 AM »
 
 Here's my two cents worth........
  
 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 43 YEARS (since I was
 15 years old. (I am now 58)…

 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 SOB’s 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 “BS”
 on your incompetence. Well, Captain BS, 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 BS, 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 puke.
Perception is everything. For instance, a crowded elevator smells different to a midget.

Greedy? I seem to recall that today's seniors paid for all this. Now they are retiring and nobody is picking up the slack. Congress has seen this coming for decades and did nothing about it, preferring instead to wait until a number of national crises occurred.
