Hey, Washington, I've Been Paying Into Social Security And Medicare For 48 Years --

[CountAllVotes]

So How Much Are You Cutting From YOUR Benefits?

>>The following is supposedly a letter written by a Montana farmer to Alan Simpson, a former senator from Wyoming.

Simpson was the co-chair of the commission President Obama appointed in 2010 to look at ways to fix our deficit problem. The recommendations of the commission were instantly ignored.

Last year, Sen. Simpson compared Social Security to a milk cow with 310 million teats. He also called America's senior citizens the "greediest generation."

This letter points out that Sen. Simpson himself, along with many other career politicians, has spent his life sucking on the taxpayer's teat.

What is this "greediest generation" crap? The greed is in Washington,D.C. where those living off of the fat of the land are busy buying $350.00 bottles of wine and having prostitutes as part of their daily living "expenses".

FUCK YOU WASHINGTON!

The "greediest generation" has worked their collective asses off and now they want the benefits they have paid into and have been promised. There is far better word for this than the word "greed", it is called stealing from the masses and claiming that it is greed because these fat ass politicians want another tax cut right away!

That is the kind of change you cannot believe in! :grr:

3. 38 years - how many times has the Age been raised on you

heck when I started paying in you could claim benefits at 55

4. Don't think so .... but am open to a site.

62 seems to be the lowest limit.

5. Fortunately, I started claiming SS when I hit 65.

I was still working a full-time job at the time, but I am now receiving the maximum benefit. Because I was still working, it gave me time to get some more funds into my 401K. I was laid off my job in 2010. I have some savings, but if social security is cut, I will be in dire straits.
