Do as I say, not what I do


Recommended Posts

Almost all of the lawmakers who co-sponsored a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour also hired unpaid interns to supplement their staffs, a survey shows. A report from the Employment Policies Institute reveals that 174 of the bill’s 184 co-sponsors, or 95 percent, hire interns who are paid nothing.

Alan
Simpson, the former senator from Wyoming, calls senior citizens

'the Greediest Generation' as he compared Social Security to a milk

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 but 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!

P.S. And stop calling Social Security benefits "entitlements." 

WHAT AN INSULT!!
 I
have been paying in to the SS system
 

for 52 years! "It's
my money"
 -
give it back to me the way
 

the system was originally designed and stop patting yourself 

on the back like you are being generous by doling out these 

monthly checks!

Unpaid internships are bullshit .....but they often lead to incredible opportunities so some are willing to take them. The reality is that those people who are able to take an unpaid internship can likely weather a period of no compensation. A single mother working at jimmy johns cannot and any increase in their disposable income is a god send

Maybe Trump being president instead of giving internships to the smart Harvard kids might lead to Goobers son Willy the dunce having a shot.

Educated smart people need not apply.
