Koch Brothers are coming after Social Security AGAIN!!!
Just got this letter;
************************************************
The Koch brothers recently rolled out their latest campaign to destroy our Social Security system, partnering with tax scam architect Stephen Moore to renew a push for privatization.
But a new book just revealed that their methods are even more insidious: The Koch Brothers have been secretly funding so-called “centrist” think tank Third Way, who have spent years aiming to erode Democrats’ commitment to Social Security.
Third Way has long been called a Wall Street front-group, as they’ve spent decades scaremongering about the deficit and pursuing benefit cuts. But being on the Koch payroll is a whole different ballgame.
The Koch brothers, ideological billionaires who have spent decades corrupting our public institutions and paving the way for Republicans, have had their sights set on Social Security for a long time. They proudly fund right-wing think tanks like the Cato Institute and the Heritage Foundation to create an echo chamber of poisonous, anti-government ideas. Having Third Way in their pocket makes them all the more dangerous.
In retrospect, Third Way’s secret Koch affiliation should have been obvious. In 2012, they published an Op-ed in the Wall Street Journal, criticizing Elizabeth Warren for leading the fight to expand Social Security. We led protests on Third Way’s offices, where Matt Bennett admitted that they don’t have grassroots support.
As the Koch brothers gear up for another assault on Social Security, we need to band together as a movement, and not be divided by Koch-funded concern trolling from our so-called allies.

Accusing "evil liberals" of the same bullshit they're doing all the time.
Asking for a friend.
What is the point for them? Cruelty? We pay into this via our payroll taxes, why do they want to take this benefit away from hard-working Americans? Don't they have enough already? People deserve to have some security in old age when they are no longer employable or can no longer work due to illness or infirmity.
What the hell is wrong with these people? Why are they so hell bent on getting their hands on this money that doesn't belong to them? I really think it is long past time to bring back this:
they don't want the populace perceiving the government as a force for good, which is exactly what Social Security, Medicare, etc. do. Hence, they want to destroy these programs.
The vast majority of MAGAts and other pukes have no idea this plot is ongoing. Also, many have bought into the con that these programs are failing, going bankrupt, etc. instead of understanding that periodic adjustments keep them robust.
Note that one of red don's biggest cons during the campaign was to blare that he would protect SS and Medicare. He knows these programs are hugely popular. If he gets back in for another 4 years. it'll instead be their death knell. As are the 666kook's666 plans to re-write the Constitution to prohibit such programs.
I wouldn't be surprised if they tried taking candy from babies and torturing their employees.
that this would be a "fun second term project" for Dumpster
