"I guess this means I can't count on your vote next election cycle?"

I Think She Is Upset!
Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama's deficit commission, called 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 PATTY MYERS in Wyoming ... 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 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 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 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 "bullshit" on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, 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 Bullshit, 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 bitch.
If you like the way things are in America delete this. If you agree with what a fellow Wyoming citizen Patty Myers says, PASS IT ON!!!
Yes, if the R's run somebody who actually has a different platform than Barry.
I won't vote for Romney under any circumstances. The only way to get RINOs in Congress to stand up to the progressive platform is if there's a D in office, or a Reagan. And even with a Reagan, they drag their feet.
Chris Matthews is loving this:
The inflation in medical and living costs that will bankrupt SS and Medicare was caused by Alan Simpson & his cronies. As was the inflation in expenditures caused by letting every vagrant who wanders across the borders onto the SS and Medicare lists.
That things don't add up should be an argument for jailing folks like Alan Simpson who promised that they would add up, not for getting nasty about the folks who got robbed.
Having paid into medicare all my life, I now would rather drop it altogether, but I'm not allowed. Eventually, it seems my entire SS payment (which is fixed) will go to medicare (which is not), and it's likely that whatever medical support I want won't be covered by medicare.
"I guess this means I can't count on your vote next election cycle?"
Thankee. And it was 1965, not 1968.
Consider the last four presidents the Democrats have given us:
1. LBJ 2. Jimmeh Cahtuh 3. Der Schlickmeister 4. Obozo
Who was the most competent? Clinton?
Who had the most integrity? Carter?
On the other hand, who was the more corrupt?
And who was the most utterly incapable?
Talk about a "slow track"...
This email was in response to Simpson’s comments that baby boomers were “greedy”. These comments came while he was serving on Obama’s debt commission.
That's true - but dems and their butt boys in the press kept VEEEEERY quiet about it until just recently. They also kept secret the fact that Senator Byrd was a former KKK member. Odd how dem secrets have a way of NOT coming out.
Alan Simpson: Social Security Is Like a "Milk Cow with 310 Million Tits!"
But they were never “safely tucked away in an interest bearing account”, and even if they had been, they would not have come close to being enough.
Free health care without rationing requires European-Canadian levels of taxation. Anybody who says otherwise is an idiot or a liar.
No person currently receiving Medicare has paid for what they consume. Not even close.
“No person currently receiving Medicare has paid for what they consume. Not even close.”
But don’t all the people who paid medicare taxes then die before even taking a penny in benefirs make up the difference?
I have said the same thing about that old geezer on FR. He is a political jackass that thinks he’s funny....just another one sucking at the tax payers teet all his life..
Even at *that* level of taxation, rationing is still present. Why else would any Canadian, European, et al with two nickels to rub together comes *here* for any major health care? Do you believe that is a coincidence?

That has zero to do with my argument about Medicare.
Medicare provides free unlimited on-demand healthcare for its "beneficiaries", and it is currently collecting about ten cents on the dollar to cover payouts.
IF persons >65 are going to continue to receive free unlimited on-demand healthcare taxes have to be massively increased.
Only in our idiot political system is that even remotely controversial.
And, yes, since I know that taxes are not going to be increased, it follows, ipso facto, that the gravy train is going to end.
Who the hell is going to sign up for that?
“Maybe” but she’s had SRS since February when he originally sent it.
His/Her point #3 seems to imply that when I pay into SS the money is put into an account for me later, which has never been the way SS was implemented.
