Former Senator Alan K. Simpson

Here's a response in a letter from a unknown fellow in Montana...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
"Hey Alan, let's get a few things straight..
 
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole 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 politicians decided to raid the account and give
OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus
bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme
that would have made 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 is 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 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 incompetents 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 you on your
your incompetence. Well, 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 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, and your political co-conspirators called
Congress who are the "greedy" ones.  It is you and your fellow nutcases
who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from
millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers.  And for what?  Votes.  That's right,
sir.  You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of
advancing your careers.

If you agree with

what a fellow Montana citizen says,  PASS IT ON!!!!
