Secure Pension Systems Are Important To The Elderly

[TheMastersNemesis]

Secure pension systems are important for everyone because economic security is important for the day when work is no longer possible. Chances are the workers will not be able to work but will still have years of life.

The GOP thinks seniors should just die under some bridge somewhere because they want all pensions to end. Forget the 401K it is just a fraud where the banksters and investor class can skim most or all of the 401k's with fees and profits in an up and down market. And you cannot get to your money until 59 1/2.

Now that the Ryan budget or the Romney economic plan would end Social Security and Medicare and Medicaide, what would seniors do. With no pension plans to help pay your bills, how will you live as a senior. The GOP is the dog food party. Seniors need to under stand that voting for the GOP is SUICIDAL. Voting Democratic and forcing them to the left is the only hope for the future.

Democrats are shaky because seniors have voted for the GOP more often than not. Remember seniors put in the GOP in 2010 and Obama did NOT get the senior vote when he won in 2008. They vote GOP even though the GOP says that it supports ending ALL pensions. They say the "free market" will take care of seniors and the poor and the disable.

1. As of 2009, 41% of those 65+ are Repubican

In 2008, 51% of 65+ voters went for McCain. That means 49% went for Obama. It is interesting to note that just 41% of white males voted Obama, and the overall male vote for Obama was 49%, identical to the percentage of Seniors for Obama.
