Social Security is a Right that is Earned Via a Lifetime of Work

Millions of people depend upon and require Social Security for their very SURVIVAL. I'm not just talking about retured seniors, although grannies and gramps do make up the bulk of who receive it, but widows, widowers, and orphans depend heavily on SS for everyday survival, too. It is reprehensible that Republicans want to gut SS to fatten the wallets of Wall Street investors, but Rep. Jim McCrery (R-LA) is doing just that and has reaped plenty for it. Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) calls privatization "a stunning...rip-off", and Krugman from the NY Times says that if you believe the Swift Boat Liars for Grannies and Bush's lies about the crisis of SS then you are "free to believe in the toothfairy, too". Also in the Times, is a piece that asks how can the deputy commissioner of the Social Security Admin. take political sides and make public appearances w/Republicans to promote privatization? It is not the job of SS to represent ALL Americans, regardless of political party affiliation? But Bush continues to spread his lies of a scary crisis, well actually the only thing scary about SS is that Bush has raped the till to gallavant his half-assed agendas across our nations and the world, but why would he ever come clean about that? And what a shock, but the pro-privatization mouthpieces are bought and paid for by the Republican Party...say it ain't so? What's next...Joe "I'm a dirty Republican on the inside" Lieberman may endorse Bush's plan to destroy granny and gramp's ability to live...YEP, he just might, and this Dem in name only needs to seriously get his priorities in check: Whore yourself out on your own time and bankrupt your own retirement-- not our's-- you little Bush-bitch!
