    Why does the Government keep pulling us into there mess. We are having enough trouble out here on our own.

    Allow ...me to remind you of something, Mr. and Mrs. Government. The phrase goes like this,

    ( A Government FOR, the people, BY, the Peo...ple, and, OF the people )

    It is not, A Government of, ( Here is to us, and the heck with you )

    This is, OUR COUNTRY, and, YOU WORK, ( FOR) US. NOT, (AGAINST) US.

    Are you listening, Mr. Obama. Who ever you are, where you are from, your job is to, PULL (WITH) US, NOT (AGAINST) US.

    Social Security is not, YOURS, never has been, and, never will be. It is, OURS.

    Now, our Statement to The Government is, NO, NOW, and, NO, NEVER WILL WE GIVE IN TO YOUR CONSISTANT JERKING OUR CHAIN ABOUT SOCIAL SECURITY.

    NO, NO, and, NO. NOT ONE PENNY, DO YOU GET IT, YET.

    "Social Security is not, YOURS, never has been, and, never will be. It is, OURS."
    ..."OASDI and HI reports. According to the official 2010 Social Security reports, between 1984 and 2009 the American people contributed $2 trillion, that is $2,000 billion, more to Social Security and Medicare in payroll taxes than was paid out in benefits." ... "Over the past quarter century, $2 trillion in Social Security and Medicare revenues have been used to finance wars and pork-barrel projects of the US government."
    One of the biggest pots of money in America and what Wall Street will do everything in in its power to steal.

      Wall Street wants social security, and they are drooling over it. That is the scam that people are being fooled by. You cannot trust Wall Street for anything, as they are predators and evil people conspiring against the rest of us.

      A trader said speculation causes us to pay $1.50 more for gasoline than we otherwise would pay. Wall Street is a tax. Wall Street must by boycotted which has been my message for a long time now.

        But you must remember that it is only government taxes that people hate, they absolutely love and adore private taxes, they can't get enough of them!

      Very true. They are drooling over getting their hands on SS money. "Piratizing" Social Security would be a horrible mistake. The Banksters already get their greedy hands on 401k and IRA money and they overcharge for managing it.

    Am currently, in my free time, watching the movies 'Inside Job' and 'Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer  –'. An easy way of understanding the whole phenomenon.

    "they absolutely love and adore private taxes," So what's a private tax? Sounds like an interesting concept.

      You know, that bit between production costs + reasonable profit, that keeps us all in our place.

    ""Piratizing"", great one - haven't heard that one before. "The Banksters already get their greedy hands on 401k and IRA money".
    That was cooked in the Nixon administration to shift retirement benefits out of the responsibility of business, who have no problem collecting it, but don't like to pay it, or just shift it into the hands of management like CEO pay.
