I found this interesting in part because I worked full-time continuously for 50 years and 6 months.

Republican Senator Alan Simpson Calls Seniors 'Greediest Generation'.

"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 spending even 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 health care 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 soxxxxxxh."
