Uh … something tells me this guy might be a bit pissed.

Senator Alan Simpson Calls Seniors ‘Greediest Generation’

Therefore this, from a man in Montana ….who – like the rest of us –
has just about had enough

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 political pukes 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 incompetent bastards spent our money so
profligately that you just kept on spendingeven after you ran out of
money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to
pay of YOUR debt…

To add insult to injury, you label us “greedy” for calling “bullshit” on
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 who are
“greedy”. It is you and they 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 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.
