Entitlements my ass, I paid cash for my Social Security

Insurance! Just because they borrowed my money, doesn't make my benefits some kind of charity or handout! Congressional benefits like free health care, outrageous retirement packages, 67 paid holidays, three weeks paid vacation, unlimited paid sick days: now that's welfare; and they have the nerve to call my retirement entitlements!

Someone please tell me what is wrong with all the people who run this country! Are these the best we can do for senators and representatives?

THEY SAY we're broke and can't help our Seniors, Veterans, Orphans, Homeless etc. but we give BILLIONS to Illegal Aliens in the form of Welfare, W.I.C., H.U.D. Housing, Free Medical Care, Schools for Illegal Aliens, Free Lunch program .... blah Blah Blah... the list is endless.

However, In recent months we have provided aid to Haiti, Chile, Pakistan...home to bin Laden...literally BILLIONS of DOLLARS!

That's in addition to billions of dollars to banks and hedge funds.

Our retired seniors living on a fixed incomes receive no aid nor do they get any breaks while our government gives Hundreds of Billions to Foreign Countries!

They call Social Security and Medicare entitlements even though most of us have been paying for them all our working lives.

And now, when its time for us to collect, THEY SAY the Government is running out of money. Don't believe them. Why did our representatives let the Government borrow from our Social Security in the first place? To bankrupt it?

AMERICA: a country where we have homeless veterans and others without shelter, children going to bed hungry, elderly going without needed medication, mentally ill going without treatment, etc.

Imagine if our Government gave us the same support they give to the banks, hedge funds, defense industry, pharmaceutical industry, oil industry, etc.

Sad, isn't it?

But 99% of people won't have the guts to forward this to their friends.

I'm part of the 1% that Just Did.
