Who's at fault?

[gurrera]

I don't care for this guys language, but he did hit it on the head.






THIS SENIOR CITIZEN NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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 "bull****" on
your incompetence. Well, Captain Bull****, 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 Bull****, 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 son of a *****.

Couldn't have said it better!

Funny, I never knew a servant was paid so well and got so many perks!!

It is true, we, the average citizens are supposed to be the boss and public servants serve our needs. Seems more like the public servants act more as parental figures dictating to us how its gonna be. I wonder when it was that our power was usurped?

Loved the letter, says a lot of what I have been pondering.....

 

[Rainbow7]

I wonder when it was that our power was usurped?

When they realised that they could use the taxpayers' money to bribe the taxpayers.

 

[busabeast]

to true...

bravo, old guy!

 

[Ketchmi]

He speaks the truth...now what can we do about it?

 

[04Duramax]

Funny.. but all to true.

 

[Snakers]

Politicians pass legislature that apply to all americans....except themselves.

I would venture to say that if you are not held to the standard that every other american is held to, you are not an american and you can not hold office.

 

[kitchener rider]

I didnt see anything wrong with his language. Sometimes you need a little colour to get your point across... He achieved his goal.. Sad thing is thats not just your country, its every country dealing with the same crap.

 

[Cerberus]

He said what a lot of us have been feeling.

 

[Phil96]

Guerrera, you took the words right out of my senior mouth.

 

[Lycan]

But sadly...many many people like us here, will read these rants all over the internet yet decide to do nothing about it...

Someone should just make a commercial telling ALL voters, hey ya know vote party, vote conscience vote for whatever you REALLY believe in..just vote all the incumbents out...

Until THAT sentiment gets around the country, sadly, things will never change...

Without a SWEEPING reform of the old, tired, entrenched in political ambiguity, worthless old guard on BOTH parties, things will never begin to go in the right direction...???

 

[Lycan]

Here's wht I'm telling MY friends for the next election....

My slogan is

Vote... OUT...

Simple, look at the sheet, "hmm hey he's been here quite along time"..you're OUT..that simple..stay true to your party, stay true to your beliefs, just vote the old guard OUT

 

[dadofthree]

I believe that anyone born after 1-1-60 is required to wait until age 70. From memory this was passed during the Clinton Admin.

Very well stated and sadly true.

I fear that within a week the majority would be corrupted by money, power, or a secret they wouldn't care to go public.

You're probably right Robert..but trying is better than what we have NOW???

 

[Busa1166]

Unfortunately as a wise man once said, " Some problems can only be fixed with bullets!"

 

[dadofthree]

You're probably right Robert..but trying is better than what we have NOW???

I agree whole heartedly. We can all hope for a better day. America has had ; in my mind at least four bad decades.

I believe that things started going down hill when folks forgot that serving this country was a privilege and a duty instead of a career path. Our politicians were never supposed to be lifers. Then add in lobby groups that are able to pass "gifts" and we have a corrupt system.

"When a man assumes a public trust, he should consider himself as public property."
- president Jefferson

Also Multi subject bills and legal speech to confuse the masses and subvert real intentions. Things are easily hidden this way.

And last but not least...Education and being complacent with what ever happens.

Think about this. When was the last time you read the bill of rights, constitution and declaration of independence? Most of the populace doesn't read these after grade school. I read them all twice a year.

Anyhow great post sorry for rambling.
