Subject: Entitlements...

A friend sent the following to me, and it says something I've long
thought so elequently and so much better than I could have ever
said/writen myself, so I have decided to add it to my website.
I have removed the names of the original poster and the person who sent
it to me and I have replaced a few expletives with "[expletive]".

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 [removed]
in Montana and posted on FaceBook. 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 [expletive] 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
>    "[expletive]" to your incompetence.

> Well, Captain [expletive], 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 [expletive], 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 [expletive].

> P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements".
>      WHAT AN INSULT!!!!

>      I have been paying in to the SS system for 48 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 .
