Monday, February 14, 2005 The Ownership Society...more like the Haves and the Have Mores owe much but pay absolutely nothing Society The scam of Social Security privatization is one of the most diabolical plans this administration has ever come up with yet for America's workers. Don't believe me? Well, read this and tell me what you think. It sums up perfectly what is actually behind the push to "scare and scam" Americans into thinking that Social Security is on the edge of bankruptcy. How ironic that Bush wants to "fix" Social Security, a system that is not on the brink of busting, yet is doing everything possible to make sure that even more middle class and poor Americans cannot file for bankruptcy. By changing the rules of who and why a person can file for bankruptcy, Bush will only benefit his buddies and backers in big business and the credit card companies. I have to wonder how many Americans file for bankruptcy after losing their jobs, after massive medical devastation due to no insurance or being under insured...but okay, let's cut the legs out from under them b/c dammit, these people are somehow getting one over on us. Not the Enrons or the Tycos of the world, but people driven to the edge of desperation and impending poverty. Bush will not stop until the soup kitchen lines are endless and the foreclosure sales and sheriff's auctions fill a newspaper as thick as the Sunday NY Times. Why doesn't Bush have the balls to tell us what his Ownership Society really is about...only the Rich get to own anything, feed, clothe, educate and obtain medical care for their children, b/c dammit, paying taxes STEALS from the rich. Forget the fact that taxes, which we ALL pay, is what keeps our nation running and civilized, but hey, let's just get rid of all govt and see what the hell happens...just for shits and giggles. Just keep this in mind the Haves and the Have Mores, when the poor have absolutely nothing left to be taken away or lost, killing you, taking your possessions away or making you suffer will really have no consequence for them b/c at least in prison, you get shelter, three meals a day and some kind of medical care. |
