Thank you...I just signed up. I am going to tell my dad about it. He had gotten an AARP letter of Gloom and Doom about the Bush Social Security proposition. I straightened my parents out on this issue but I will ask them today if they want me to sign them up too.
I was savvy to their socialist agenda when they first attacked the 2nd amendment around 10-12 years ago, and have been discarding all their crap mailings or sending back the envelopes empty so they have to pay for the postage.
I might start glueing their postage paid envelopes with bricks attanched soon
LOL. Good for you. My husband, who is older than me, dropped his membership to the AARP years ago too.
The most recent attacks include supporting Bush's program for drug reform, then stabbing him in the back in the election. The social security proposal specifically exempts everyone over 50 (the AARP membership in particular) but they will still argue the left side.
This happend during Forbe's Flat Tax proposal, he exempted interest, dividends, and capital gains from the tax and the AARP should have been pretty supportive since it would have meant their sources of income would not be taxed at the federal level. The AARP jumped in on the democratic side and told the seniors that the flat tax would not be passed the way Forbes had it outlined. And the elderly voted it out. Very bad IMO, as a retiree I would have benefited too. (But if the AARP votes for the democrats, they they can lose power as the democrat positions wind up on the dust bin of history.
