Here's a soft lie that must be debunked before it gets off the ground!

9. Simpson is a master of rhetoric appealing to the young and the poor, while simultaneously screwing

them. Every time you see him on TV, he's always pushing the idea that raising the retirement age is a way to prevent the youth of today from having to pay for the old coots (like him) who don't need it. Also a way of saving the poor or middle class who are currently paying into the trust fund from having to pay for the people currently entering retirement. Thus, he gets a big boost on the emotional side from the young and the poor. (Something that normally the Llew Rockwell Libertarian propagandists normally do.)

Meanwhile he completely forgets to mention that the people who are about to retire have been paying an EXTRA AMOUNT into the trust fund SINCE 1983 in order to BUILD UP this surplus so that the baby boomer bulge will be taken care of. He also forgets to mention that all of those 20 year olds who think they'll 'live fast and die young' might be in for a rude dissapointment when they reach the age of 65 and are told they won't be able to retire for another ten years. "Back down into the coal mine for YOU, Gramps."

This has got to be the crime of the century! The problem of the Baby Boomers retiring en masse WAS SOLVED, and these a-holes are now proposing to UN-SOLVE it.
