Sometimes I don't have to write a column, as others do it for me! Check below, and thanks to Dave F
Senator Alan Simpson from Wyoming,
is co-chair of Obama's deficit commission, and has called senior
citizens the greediest generation, and compared Social Security to a
milk cow with 310 million teats. Patty Myers in Montana, is a little
ticked off. Here's her letter to the Senator:
"Hey Alan, let's get a few things
straight. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for
FIFTY YEARS. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 years
(since I was 15, and am now 63). 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. This bankrupted the system, and turned Social
Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud.
"Recently, just like Charlie Brown
and Lucy, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from
millions of American seniors nearing retirement age, 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.
"Myself, and millions of other
Americans, have been paying into Medicare from day one, and now you and
your moronic compatriots, 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,
and you have spent more than any administration in history.
"We 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 keep on spending, even after you ran out of money to
spend. Now, you come to the American Taxpayers, and say you need more
to pay off YOUR debt, not ours. To add insult to injury, you label us as
"greedy" for calling BS on your incompetence. Well, Captain BS, 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 pitiable 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 BS, and your
political co-conspirators called 'Congress,' who are the greedy ones.
It is You and your fellow nut cases, 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 dismal
political careers. You know it, and you know that we know it. You can
take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch."
Is there any possible way of
expressing it any better? 535 Representatives and Senators, of both
parties, over the last 80 years, have spent and spent and spent, and
without permission of the taxpayers, who, in vain, tried to vote sanity,
and failed. If Mitt Romney gets elected, will he do any better than
George Bush? Probably not, but as we have just seen, the Tea Party's
power is still effective, and Tea Party candidates can indeed capture
the Senate (only four seats needed), and keep the House. Send the money
to Tea Party Express, 8795 Folsom Blvd. Suite 103, Sacramento, CA
95826-3720. We've GOT to save America!
On the subject of metals prices:
The gold-silver ratio has been hovering around 58 to 1, which means that
silver is a huge bargain. Why has gold gone up further than silver?
Simply because the entire world is scared out of their wits as economies
die or grow weaker, thanks to debts being out of control and being paid
with printing press money. The world wants safety, and they consider
gold to be safety, so they are buying gold. That's fine, but what most
do not realize is that silver is equal safety, and those in the know, if
they have a place to store it, are buying silver. Hence, the high
ratio. Thousands of years ago, the first coin was made of silver, not
gold. Remember, it should be 16 to 1, not 58 to 1. Had we a 16 to 1
gold-silver ratio today, silver would be $100 an ounce, rather than
$28. I believe that a 16 to 1 ratio will eventually exist, as it has
throughout recorded history.
