1-13-05 THE SOCIAL SECURITY SCAM
First, let me thank all three of you workers who are now by force of
federal law, willingly or unwillingly, paying me $677 every month via
your Soc. Sec. taxes. I really do appreciate it.
[And isnt the applied socialist dictum From those who have to those
who dont have marvelous?]
The check barely covers living expenses, but whatthehell, its free
money! I used up my own credited contributions in a couple months
back in 1986 when I joined the Disabled ranks living on Social
Security. And I must mention the miracle of Medicare, which has paid
for four (count em, 4) operations on my spine at no cost to me! Not
to mention dozens of CATscans, MRIs and innumerable X-rays.
[Trouble is, I glow in the dark and iron objects are attracted to me.]
But now our Maximum Leader, George W. Bush, wants to Privatize
Social Security, which I understand will allow you slave workers to
keep some of your Social Security taxes every month in an
accumulating retirement account which would be invested in govt.
approved mutual stock funds, bond funds, etc., so that when you
reach your retirement age in 40-50 years [which could be adjusted to
70-75 by then] you would reap a bonanza of money from those safe
investments.
But what good ol George W. isnt telling you---nor is anyone else Ive
heard talk about this---is that by then some or a lot of those safe
stocks and bonds may have succumbed to bankruptcies, recessions,
even a major depression (like, dirt floor city), and you could be left
holding an empty bag. So sue Santa Claus because G.W. will be
dead by then.

The only way the govt. can guarantee a full, decent return on your
invested (government-forced) retirement fund is by rigging the stock
markets and bond markets and interest rates and on and on and on
to the point of disaster and cataclysmic social-financial collapse.
True, for a few years the infusion of all them Social Security forcedsavings into the markets will push up stock and bond prices, giving
the illusion of success. But eventually the Law of Diminishing
Returns will reach the tipping point and the grim revealer of govt. and
politicians lies will be hard at work exposing the worlds greatest
scam.
Be assured that these truths are known on Wall Street, and rest
assured that future authorized brokerages, stock traders, mutual
fund operators, insiders and their friends will sell out in time to avoid
the gargantuan financial sink hole and will be holed up in guarded,
walled enclaves and/or soaking sun on foreign tropical isles when a
ten trillion dollar shit storm hits the fans.
THEN the stupid future congressmen will have no option but to go
back to approximately the present Social Security system (with
horribly reduced benefits) or call it a different name (Life Basic,
maybe) or even open the borders even wider to allow in ten million
new young workers to keep the system going.
New young workers have the added benefit of being virtually debt
free, allowing them to be conned and coerced into our lifetime-of-debt
Capitalism system.
The final and most drastic way to save the Social Security system is
to kill off a lot of seniors (Boomers) by way of a mysterious, quickacting incurable disease which will thin out millions of beneficiaries
who are the oldest and most expensive to keep alive in Medicare
terms.
Fortunately, I expect to be long dead by then.
