3. As Atrios pointed out today
Greenspan has been working more than 20 years to create this fake crisis. He is the prime tool in fleecing the middle class of their retirement. He's an evil bastard.

5. What are they doing with my $?
Edited on Sat Aug-28-04 01:11 AM by Erika
I pay in several hundred dollars each month for SS. What are they doing with it? Building defense systems and paying Hallibuurton contracts? Where is their good faith as they rob me of my money?

Everyone of us should prepare to lobby and protest against the theft of our taxes with no payback.

6. Most of it they're sending
to a retired person as soon as you send it in.

A smaller portion gets loaned to the general budget, and is then spent on missiles, medicaid, whatever.

7. I don't pay into SS For General Budget Purposes!
They are using my SS taxes for their purposes and Greenspan is spewing the message the government promised us too much back for the taxes we paid in. What it comes down to is that in a decade we will be a third world country where the government steals our taxes for their own use, which does not include the individuals who payed in the taxes. It sounds so Bushie.
