They want your retirement...they want it back

[tjwash]

I wish this wasn't as fucking true as it really is...

"You know what they want? Obedient workers ­ people who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork but just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. And, now, they're coming for your Social Security. They want your fucking retirement money. They want it back, so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street. And you know something? They'll get it. They'll get it all, sooner or later, because they own this fucking place. It's a big club, and you ain't in it. You and I are not in the big club."

RIP George...

K&R

3. Oh please. If the members of the tea party were able to abandon the hyperbole and

...allow critical analysis, they would conclude that the very people that lead them and speak for them are the ones that will do them the most damage. For the most part, the tea partiers are baby boomer-aged white folks that are beginning to realize the USA they bought into does not exist. They are afraid, and their fear is their Achilles Heel. Their fear is the chains around their necks that allows demagogues of minimal intelligence and dubious intentions to lead them around like dumb animals.

4. the last pocket to pick

what is this society going to look like when they are through with us?

5. and if they can't get it

by raiding "private accounts" in the stock market, they will get it by reduced taxes on the wealthy and decreased benefits for everyone else. They are determined to get at this cash one way or another.

6. Social Security and Medicade/ Medicare the last things for them to loot.

Guess they could still go get the Pensions too.
