In reply to the discussion: So, just how much money are those lazy seniors getting from their Social Security? [View all]NobodyInParticular
(102 posts)clear. Why the effort to squeeze the seniors? Simple logic--the Social Security funds look ever so attractive to the boys on Wall Street. If they could, they would take the entire trust fund, privatize it today and syphon the cash tomorrow. In the meantime they will try to cut benefits as much as they can get away with. The less money there is disbursed, the more there is to steal. By cutting seniors' finances you reduce their good health. Thieving oligarchs see social security recipients as opponents with money, and to them an opponent with money is an enemy. How do the Wall Street Boys defeat their enemy? They demoralize retirees financially, give them less than minimal health care, and then watch them lose the strength to stand up to bullying. The weaker they get, the quicker they die. Once they are six feet under. that trust fund money will quickly find its way into the pockets of Wall Street.
