Too Old to Work (The Social Security Song)

Because a Russian bot thinks I am a fool spreading propaganda, I am going to do it some more.

I first made this video in 2012 after the catfood commission threatened SS benefits. It is still as true now as then -- maybe more so.

Please add your voices. I would appreciate a thumbs up from any who are willing to click on to the youtube site to do so.

when the Russian bots and GOP toadies call us fools.

Thank you for watching. I try to do my part to deliver the message. I learned from the folks here how to make waves. BIG BLUE WAVES.

Social Security is a paid for insurance program to help Americans in their old age. It is not a welfare program.
We pay for Medicare the same way too. We will fight if anyone tries to take these earned benefits away.
Thank you for the lovely film.

Because I've paid full-boat into SS and Medicare for over 40 years now, and as far as I'm concerned, those aren't entitlements. Those are EARNED BENEFITS. When the Republicans attack this again we need to fight tooth and nail to keep the greedheads from stealing our money.

To fight the Catfood Commission headed by Alan Simpson. I was mad then. And I am still mad now. ONly now I am closer to drawing these benefits you and I have paid for!

We fight until we win!
