Language is a little strong but we can see she is more than a little angry.
Alan Simpson, the Senator from Wyoming, calls senior citizens ‘the Greediest Generation’ as he compared “Social Security” to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats.
Here’s a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana:
“Hey Alan, let’s get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).
3. My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would make Bernie Madoff proud.
4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and “your ilk” pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age, 67. NOW, you and your “shill commission” are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.
5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal our money from Medicare to pay the bills.
6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent OUR money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt. To add insult to injury, you label us “greedy” for calling “B. S.” to your incompetence. Well, Captain B. S., I have a few questions for YOU:
1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?
2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?
3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?
4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?
It is you, Captain BlowHard, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the “greedy” ones. It is you and your fellow nutcase thieves who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes and your job and retirement security at our expense, you lunk-headed leech. That’s right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic, political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it. And you can take that to the bank, you lying, miserable son of a bitch. NO, I did not stutter!
Sincerely,
Patty Myers, Montana
P.S.
And stop calling Social Security benefits “entitlements”. WHAT AN INSULT!! I have been paying into the SS system for 52 years! “It’s my money” – give it back to me the way the system was originally designed and stop patting yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out these monthly checks.
Can I be Patty Myers’ friend? There are so many issues I just want to scream
about and she does such a wonderful job. May I use a few of “your” words in my rantings and ravings. I live near Ferguson, Mo. Everyone in the world knows about Ferguson, Mo thanks to our “got to have their nose in everything” bureaucrats. Keep it going, till another nice town is ruined. We are sitting here waiting for the verdict to come down from the Grand Jury and they have promised, all HELL will break loose. Makes me think of WATTS in the ’80s. So much I would like to say about that! You got my “fire up”. We ain’t done with DC yet. Thank you / Thank you
Yes, Carol, everything published here is in the public domain, so scream away! We don’t know Patty Myers personally but can see that she could capture the hearts of millions of Americans, if she ran for office. I hope she sees her message, contacts you and becomes your friend. Pat
