There's this post by a bigmouth, know nothing blogger slamming the elderly for collecting a Social Security check every month.
He's crying about the whiny, pathetic old geezers (his words, not mine) in an ad telling the GOP candidate to keep his hands off their SS. Of course he calls SS a ponzi scheme in collapse, so anyone who collects a check every month is stealing from the paychecks of young workers.
"I would just bet that this ol' biddy paid perhaps a total of $30,000 into the system over her lifetime, and has now taken out over $150,000 (and counting....), and yet demands that we keep our hands off of 'her so-security." he said
".They must surely know that the checks they are cashing are not the funds that they contributed, and that were stored safely away in the So'-Security Lock Box. Are these old geezers that stupid?."
.Wow! He is calling these seniors un-American because they are standing up to the GOP candidates who want to end SS as we know it and put that money into the stock market. Has this moron ever been to a teabagger event? I'm sure he has. How many in the teabagger community are seniors on SS?? Those seniors are the ones standing at the rallies with their signs saying 'Keep your hands off my Medicare', 'NO Pubic Option', so I wonder what this guys teabagger rally friends think about his claim they are 'Old Codgers' stealing from him and his buddies.

What he really hates about seniors on SS is the fact they collect a check from the government. He calls it eating off of their fellow Americans tables directly and unashamedly. He says they are not self sufficient. They are sticking their old liver spotted hands directly into the pockets of the young worker. Need I go on??
.
Sorry, yes I must.... He says SS was never intended to be a retirement fund, it was set up to assist the poorest among us to make ends meet, not to finance a lifestyle of meeting every want and need from age 62 til death! Oh and he called it a socialized mess of course, lets not forget the socialism word in every conservatives posts...

Do you think this 55 yr old has parents who collect SS? Do you think he has ever encountered a senior who lives on SS and SS alone? Does he not hear the stories of seniors who have to skip grocery shopping because they can not afford to eat, pay rent, AND buy their meds??

Hey you hateful un-American wingnut, pick a different subject because you are WRONG on this one. Educate yourself on Social Security and the people who collect it before you call them nasty, hateful names. That senior who is sitting in his apartment hungry and cold because he can't afford heat AND groceries in the same month, will one day BE YOU!!!.
All my faithful readers know he is wrong on SS, but if any new visitors want to read an old post on the GOP and their fearmongering about Social Security, you can go here.
