Dick Durbin, a Senator from Illinois calls 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 NYE from Illinois ... I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Dick, let's get a few things straight!!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FORTY 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 losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make 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 our 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" to 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 40+ year political career?
2. At what age will you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much will you receive 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 nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.
And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense,
you lunk-headed leech.
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.
P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT AN INSULT!!!!
I have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years "It's my money"-give it back to me the way the system was designed and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out these monthly checks .
Thank you
ReplyDeleteAnd we need to start making everyone of ALL these crooked ass politicians pay like the rest of us
Oh and they know this too
Google Patty Nye to learn the truth.
ReplyDeleteThis comment was first attributed to Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming, Co-Chair of Obama’s deficit commission, on August, 2010.” and now "it is back" as a Dick Durbin.comment
Doesn't matter where it started, it needs to keep going
DeleteVERY TRUE!
ReplyDeleteIf the shoe fits....
ReplyDeleteOh this is so very true. I wish every last damn one of them had to worry about if they were gonna buy medicine or food or pay the electric bill. They always always make rules they don't have to live by but you know, if I had to lie and cheat as much as they do to stay where they are, I would much rather be out here trying to figure out how to live from day to day than try to live with myself over all the lies and cheating. Karma is gonna get them and shame on them when it happens.
ReplyDeleteWell if dick durbin and the rest of the democrats hadn't used it for ANOTHER GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM there wouldn't be a problem. Or the Reagan era Republicans didn't take the money without putting it back to run the Soviet Union into bankruptcy. It's funny how these LIFE LONG POLITICIAN always seem to forget that
ReplyDeleteTerm limits is the answer!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever written to your rep or congressman? As a retiree I have time to be a little more politically active than I did when I was working full time. I have written (emailed) Hollins and Cardin and on the state level Anderton and Carozza. I've gotten a response from Anderton, no one else, not even a generic thank you for email from the others so I plan to keep writing. I'm also noting how many times I have written with no response. My standard is 1 no response and I will not vote for you in the next election. More than 4 no responses and I will tell my friends and family and facebook contacts, that you do not care about constituents as you never respond to correspondence. More than 10 no resp9nses and I will actively campaign for your opposition candidate.
ReplyDeleteAnd he gets 100% assisted living payments at old age whereas everyone else has to liquidate all their assets for assisted living facilities.
