When they set their greedy eyes on your social security earnings

[Generic Other]

ask them this:

How do they intend to repay the monies they already withheld from all of us?
And when do they intend to quit taking more money from our paychecks?

They don't get to have their "cuts" and make us eat them too.

They never seem compelled to offer an explanation for their theft or an accounting of monies owed or future monies they intend to continue collecting to run the giant con! They are rather cavalier talking about savings accounts we all were forced to contribute to our whole working lives. That money is still ours. Not theirs. If it is not returned with interest, it is because thieves stole it.

So where our refunds if they decide to end SS? Just saying they're insolvent doesn't cut it. They still owe us the money.

If they are telling us they have spent the collected money (the lockbox was jimmied open long ago), then they have committed fraud and theft. I for one intend to hold them accountable.

Show me the money. I've got a shoebox full of receipts.

1. Theft indeed. Well said.

2. Same with pensions for public employees.

Those pension contributions are part of their earned compensation during their working years. Taking them away without due process of law is STEALING.

3. They never intended to pay it back...

and they will fight like Tasmanian devils before they are forced to pay it back.

6. I will fight like a good old fashioned American bare-knuckle pugilist

and so will many others. They will be puking teabags by the time I am done with them. If they steal my money I will put liens on their property. I would be glad to take home some Smithsonian exhibits or auction me off a NASA rocket or two to recover my money. Don't make me send the government to collections!

4. They try and package it up in the word "privatization"

Which means, that they give it to their criminal buddies on wall street to "invest" for us. Then the wall street assholes pump up their stock portfolios with hundreds of billions of fresh dollars, and dump it later into offshore bank accounts.

Then they say...sorry, no more...we have drained it all off...you lose...we have blackwater contracted security around our gated communities...piss off you are on your own. Welcome to Sudan-west.

After all is said and done, the to 1 percent get obscenely richer, the rest of us go get to fuck ourselves.

5. So true. SS is about the only thing left in this country that

a) still has any value,
b) hasn't already been privatized.

They want it so bad they are salivating over it. You can see the sheen of saliva on their lips when they talk about it.
