BERNIE SANDERS SMACKS KOCH BROS. ON SOCIAL SECURITY
Bernie Sanders has issued a three-prong assault on the Koch Bros., who he calls the poster boys for the 1% wealthy, re. their ongoing assault against Social security. First, they want to increase the retirement age to 70. Now, let's see, would their efforts be in behalf of the SS program to help it survive? Hell no, it's to save Koch Industries billions from the 60,000 people they employ in the U.S. Put it off as long as possible and maybe some of these nice employees will die before reaching age 70. Second and third, they scream that SS is going broke and that it needs to be privatized. Again, are they coming to the aid of one of America's institutional benefits? Hell no once more. The savings and potential revenue for something like this would be enormous for Koch Industries. What is interesting about the video with this article is that it exposes many of the secret lobbying groups supported by, who else, the Koch Bros. Watch it!

I get so tired of this assault on SS year after year. Society wanting to throw away the elderly. I probably won't even see a nickel from my account. The retirement age will be upped to 90 by the time I get there. What if you die first? Who gets that money? Am I supposed to take care of my parents when the rug is pulled from them. I get so sick of people calling this a "pyramid scheme." A pyramid is transferring money from one person or group to another and relying on that to continue forever. Get a clue, Coke head brothers!!!--The system has worked for a hundred years, so get your greedy hands off my money. Yeah duh put it in the hands of the "private" sector, Wall street so they can take it like you. Jesus, what the fuck every happened to rich people being philanthropists, for fuck's sake???? Ok, rant over.
