Being less confrontation does not work. Get getting into their faces.
Well done!
Sounds like you were very brave to speak the truth to a hostile crowd. I suspect that you weren't going to change any minds, though, as it appears that the crowd was a bunch of old Democrats, and they're pretty close-minded (despite the inappropriate "Progressive" label).
EXCELLENT! Nice work.
Their claps will be remembered by the booing geezers.
Most dangerous place on the planet is the space between a geezer and his entitlement.
Most people are dead horses.
That's your statement? That's what you said?
I'd boo you too, and I'm 38.
The transition must be further out than now and more gradual than immediate.
"300 Greedy Geezers"
Great name for a rock band.
So by the time your 102, the transition will be complete??
First of all stop calling them "greedy geezers". I speak to seniors age over 70, they have real fears about their benefits, acknowledge their fears. I reassure them that our President will never let them down and they are than very approving of private accts for their grandchildren.
Why get so confrontational with them? But like I said the seniors I speak with are conservatives and have been all their lives and yes they have fears but once they are calmed they admit to loving the reform and wish they had the opportunity of private accts when they were younger.
nice..........NOT!
Where did you get 102?
Where did you get the idea that I care if I'm 62 or 162?
Please turn on your sense of humor!
yeah,...this ol' creakin' PONZI is one good kick from collapse,...its nice to have The President on our side
Some of these Ed Asner understudies can get on a guy's wick; I'm glad my folks don't act like the rest of the world is obligated to subsidize them.
Pete "The Weasel" Visclosky was having coffee at our company cafeteria in 1990 and I walked up to his table and told him that if the Gary Airport was expaned as he was promoting it (and still is), it would ruin my life (I live near Cline Avenue). Boy, that was a conversation stopper!
Just trying to gauge how long you think this transition must take!
