The Destruction Of Social Security Is The Endgame
that's the talking point again, I keep hearing.

right back on it, republicans are back at trying to hand social security back over to the banking elites who ruined this country.

it all comes back to handing over the big prize, the retirement of hundreds of millions of Americans, to a small group of people.

the same people who fucked up our economy as it is.

1. Destruction of social security. Destruction of public education.
Destruction of labor unions and the labor standards they support. What social safety nets will be left when Democrats get done "compromising?"

2. the only "safety nets" they will leave will be corporate welfare.

3. You can also add
the destruction of all pension plans. I know they are trying to get rid of pension plans in Az - the Az Chamber of Commerce of trying hard and spreading lies to do this. They want to privitize pension plans here.

6. Not the destruction, but the transfer of ALL retirement funds SS, IRA's, 401K's into the markets..
Edited on Mon Nov-15-10 09:34 AM by galileoreloaded
there is plenty of evidence of this, been talking about it for 2 years here. Nobody wants to listen. Oh well, the haves CAN become have-nots by default and negligence I suppose.

The markets desperately need these "dollars" to recapitalize and combat dollar destruction.

One more time in the chart below, any number less than one means money is being destroyed via fractional lending and mass default. Wee need new blood in an expired corpse.

7. Fuck the Markets
They are ponzi schemes. There's no such thing as an honest market today. Let them go completely under, and start over. With RULES.

14. It's been the target since it was created.
Every year, they attack it. Every year they try to move the goal posts.
