Plutocrats' New Pitch: Let Us Rob You Now So You Can Plan Ahead for Poverty

[Fire Walk With Me]

Somehow, I’ve wound up on the mailing list for a group of oligarchs campaigning to swindle Americans out of their hard-earned retirement insurance. Hedge fund billionaire Pete Peterson, the budget buffoons Erskine Bowles and Alan Simpson, and the rest of their merry band of hustlers over at the hilariously named Committee for a Responsible Budget have asked me to consider their latest proposal.

So I thought I’d oblige them, what the heck.

Judging from the shrill headline in their mailing, these men (and a token woman or two) wish to sell me on the idea of “Social Security Reform and the Cost of Delay.”

The cost of delay? Boys, I hear you on that. Any delay in ripping me off must be very costly — for you.

2. just for that,

I am now going to contact the Social Security Administration and begin to collect on the first of the year. 2014, Hooray, I just turned 62 and don't want to wait until it's all gone.

No Cost of Delay for me, but I've made too much to just dig in right now.

3. They are coming for your Social Security Fund.

They don't feel pain.
They don't have emotions.
They never give up.
They never stop.
They are coming.
Thats all they do.

"They" want that Social Security MONEY, and the Centrist "New Democrats", Third Way Democrats, Blue Dogs, DLC, or whatever you want to call these Big Business Republicans,...will HELP them get it.
QED

Don't help them.
Forewarned is forearmed.
