As far as I can tell, the goal of the AARP formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons is to enslave all those of working age. Once enslaved, workers will support retirees in the style to which the AARP feels they are entitled.
This would be good for the AARP because its real business is selling products to older people by direct mail, and the more income older people have, the better it is for the AARP.
Too bad about everyone else.

AARP is run by a black Dem Obama contributor....I don’t trust anything he does.
I am retired but have been boycotting aarp for since clinton when i learned what a leftwing bunch a nuts they are. very bad for this country....
That about sums it up. I have long thought that the “greatest generation” should instead be called the “greediest generation.”
Clearly, the author missed what the AARP has been about for several years. They have been a subsidiary of the extreme leftist machine. Their moves since 2004 have been in the interest of the Democratic Party at the expense of the elderly. In 2008 they committed so heavily to the Kenyan, Community Organizer that they openly exposed their agenda. People need to run from the AARP as rapidly as possible.
I have lived my life by what my Grand Father told me when I was 10 years old. “Anytime you depend on anything outside yourself it weakens your very nature.”
>> Anytime you depend on anything outside yourself it weakens your very nature.
Personally, I’d make a BIG exception for Almighty God in that sentiment... but otherwise, it’s pretty good.
Every time my wife and I get an AARP membership request I write on it send this to Obama.
ARRP sells low quality insurnace and investment products at high prices. They dupe seniors like Obama duped many seniors and baby booms.
Obama is screwing seniors and baby boomers plus America.
Same here.......
I remember working on my Dad's bills after Mom passed away. I noticed a rather large monthly bill from AARP. I asked my Dad what benefit was he getting? He said it was required for Medicare... Huh? They had him convinced....until I noticed he had received "no" benefit because he hadn't ever filled a claim....
That was my first lesson on AARP...long ago.
Any senior who willingly joins the AARP deserves a death panel. Worthless greedy bloodsuckers.
We used to all go out for drinks after work at a bar near downtown Cleveland. They had an appetizer buffet on Fridays for the patrons.
I used to love watching the seniors come in. Order a coke, then gleen the bar stuffing food in purses and pockets.
Gimme, gimme, gimme!
Either, eventually, they'll get the hint and stop mailing you these things or you'll get the enjoyment of having them partially pay for your trash paper removal.

We’re not all that way.
Dad could’ve looked in the mirror but with his bad eyes he would not have seen much. I offered to pay for glasses but being independent, he said no, he'd save up the money.
He died before he saved enough.
I'd been happy to pay far more in taxes if it benefited him but I know what I paying in was just going into the general fund and being replaced by chits that someone in the future would pay on.
Anyway I have to send off a check for taxes, it seems some banker wants another country mansion and is just few hundred million short.
I have over eightyish parents. They have never joined AARP. They pay for their dinner, contribute to the needy, help at their church etc. and are nothing but a great help to every person in our family.
Lets be careful about demonizing all old people for the actions of some, like old democrats.
“Were not all that way.”
....I agree....I’m slowly giving away money I’ve earned and saved over the years.
Well stated FACT!
I am in good health, thank the Lord, and neither need or want absolutely anything AARP or Obama has to offer.....They can both go to _E__!
That article could have been written by my dad...age 75.
If you ever wanna hear a good string of Italian swear words put together in a row, see if you can get a ringside seat for when the AARP calls him for possible membership.
LOL
