Alan Simpson*, senator from Wyoming, co-chair of Obama’s deficit commission, calls senior citizens ”the greediest generation” as he compared social security to a milk cow with 310 million teats. (August 2, 2010)—
Here is a response from Patty Meyers in Montana,,, and I think she is pissed:
”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, I am now 63]
3—My social security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were 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 exchange for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning social security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud. (Editor’s Note: Social Security is not and has not become a Ponzi scheme, despite efforts by politicians to turn it into one. It is also solvent way into the future. In that, Meyers is regurgitating the media’s baloney about the issue.)
4—Recently, just like Lucy and Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and you have moved the goalposts for full retirement from 65 to 67. NOW, you and your shills are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.
5—I, and millions of 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 tax all our lives, and now you propose to raise our taxes again. Why?? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just keep on spending even after you ran out of money. now, you come to the American taxpayer and say you need more money to pay YOUR debt.
To add insult to injury, you label us as ”greedy” for calling”********” on your incompetence. well captain ********, 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 retirement 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 ********, 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 what for?? VOTES. that’s right, sir. you and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. you know, we know it, and you know that we know it.
You can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.
—P. Meyers
* Addendum—
Alan Simpson was a dumb fuck.
Run-ins with the lawSimpson led an interesting life as a youth, which undoubtedly helped shape his later career. To quote a “friend of the Court” brief[5] filed before the United States Supreme Court in the juvenile imprisonment cases Graham v. Florida and Sullivan v. Florida:
In Simpson’s words to this Court, “I was a monster.”
One day in Cody, Wyoming, when Simpson was in high school, he and some friends “went out to do damage.” They went to an abandoned war relocation structure and decided to “torch” it. They then actually had committed arson on federal property, a crime now punishable by up to twenty years in prison. Luckily no one was injured in the blaze.
Simpson not only played with fire, but also with guns. He played a game with his friends in which they shot at rocks close to one another, at times using bullets they stole from the local hardware store. The goal of the game was to come as close as possible to striking someone without actually doing so.
Again, Simpson was lucky: no one was killed or seriously injured.
Simpson and his friends went shooting throughout their community. They fired their 22 caliber rifles at mailboxes, blowing holes in several and killing a cow. They fired their weapons at a road grader. “We just raised hell,” Simpson says. Federal authorities charged Simpson with destroying government property and Simpson pleaded guilty. He received two years of probation and was required to make restitution from his own funds – funds that he was to obtain by holding down a job.[6]
Simpson stated; “I was just dumb and rebellious and stupid. And a different person.” And then added;”You’re not who are when you’re 16 or 18. You’re dumb, and you don’t care and you think you are eternal.” (Wikipedia)
