Are You Really Stupid?
I Mean Really Stupid?
The Bush Guys think so.1 comments
And they're in the process of betting MILLIONS on the fact that you're too stupid, too lazy and too gutless to avoid handing over to them every last cent you'll need to live on when you're retired.
Think of the Bush Guys as hackers, spammers and thieves.
Because that's what they are. They're just guys with their hands in your pockets—just like the hackers, but without the patina of outlaw cool.
We all know well that the Social Security Insurance plan is only a safety net to keep people from starving to death in the streets.
It's never been a means for creating a lush retirement. That's what pensions were for, and recently, 401K and IRA-type accounts.
We know rich guys know they'll never need it, and resent paying SSI taxes on the first $87,000 of their incomes, so they want to wipe it all out. Fuck everybody else.
Unfortunately for them, despite the fixes the program needs along the way, SSI is WAAAAAAY too stable and solvent for their purposes, so they're about to spend millions upon millions to create an ad campaign that they're convinced will have you banging on their door for their "great plan."
The same way they sold you the cigarettes that killed your parents and now have you walking around with an oxygen tank.
They're going to tell you there's a crisis when there IS NO crisis. They'll tell you scary SSI ghost stories day and night until you're convinced that the walls around you are talking to you, and that your bed is spinning, falling into an endless pit.
Kinda like that.
They know they have to convince you of something that just isn't true.
And they're sitting there, grinning, because they "know" you're going to swallow it hook, line and sinker.
A Big Push On Social Security
ARE you that stupid?
You're not, are you?
Really?

I understand being against any privatization of the Social Security system, plenty of intelligent people have made good arguments to me about why it shouldn't happen (though I disagree). But to believe there is no crisis is the height of idiocy. The system is already broken, another 50 years and it will completely collapse.
