> Alan Simpson, the retired Senator from Wyoming calls senior citizens

> Cow with 310 million teats.
> Here's a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Montana ... I  
> think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
> "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  
> "bullshit" to your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, 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 Bullshit, 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 miserable son of a bitch. NO,  
> I did not stutter.

>
> EVERYONE!!!
> If you like the way things are in America delete this.
> If you agree with what a Montana citizen, Patty Myers, says, please  
> PASS IT ON!!!!
>
>
> P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements". WHAT  
> AN INSULT!!!!
> I have been paying in to the SS system for 45 years of my money &  
> give it back to me the way the system was designed and stop patting  
> yourself on the back like you are being generous by doling out these  
> monthly checks!
