Congress insiders: Above the law?

On the radio, they were talking about a particular congressman that made several hundred thousand on a trade. They didn't say his name.

(CBS News) Martha Stewart went to jail for it. Hedge fund honcho Raj Rajaratnam was fined $92 million and will go to jail for years for it. But members of Congress can do the same thing -use non-public information to make stock trades -- and there's no law against it. Steve Kroft reports on how America's lawmakers can legally make tidy profits on information only they know, simply because they won't pass a law against themselves. The report will be broadcast on Sunday, Nov. 13 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

FUCK YOU ASSHOLES!

A Letter from an Enraged Lady
Published on October 31, 2011 Posted on Sunday, October 30, 2011 1:43:06 PM



Patty Meyers, WYO


Alan Simpson, Senator from Wyoming , Co-Chair of Obama?s deficit commission, called senior citizens the Greediest Generation as he compared ?Social Security? to a Milk Cow with 310 million teats. Here?s a response in a letter from PATTY MYERS in Wyoming ? I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!

?Hey Alan, let?s get a few things straight..

1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole for FIFTY YEARS.

2. I have been paying Social Security taxes for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63).

3 My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid the account and give OUR money to a bunch of zero ambition losers in return for votes, thus bankrupting the system and turning Social Security into a Ponzi scheme that would have made Bernie Madoff proud..



4. Recently, just like Lucy & Charlie Brown, you and your ilk pulled the proverbial football away from millions of American seniors nearing retirement and moved the goalposts for full retirement from age 65 to age 67. NOW, you and your shill commission are proposing to move the goalposts YET AGAIN.

5. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying into Medicare from Day One, and now you morons propose to change the rules of the game. Why? Because you idiots mismanaged other parts of the economy to such an extent that you need to steal money from Medicare to pay the bills.

6. I, and millions of other Americans, have been paying income taxes our entire lives, and now you propose to increase our taxes yet again. Why? Because you incompetent bastards spent our money so profligately that you just kept on spending even after you ran out of money. Now, you come to the American taxpayers and say you need more to pay off YOUR debt.To add insult to injury, you label us ?greedy? for calling ?bullshit? on your incompetence. Well, Captain Bullshit, I have a few questions for YOU.

1. How much money have you earned from the American taxpayers during your pathetic 50-year political career?

2. At what age did you retire from your pathetic political career, and how much are you receiving in annual retirement benefits from the American taxpayers?

3. How much do you pay for YOUR government provided health insurance?

4. What cuts in YOUR retirement and healthcare benefits are you proposing in your disgusting deficit reduction proposal, or, as usual, have you exempted yourself and your political cronies?

It is you, Captain Bullshit, and your political co-conspirators called Congress who are the ?greedy? ones. It is you and your fellow nutcases who have bankrupted America and stolen the American dream from millions of loyal, patriotic taxpayers. And for what? Votes. That?s right, sir. You and yours have bankrupted America for the sole purpose of advancing your pathetic political careers. You know it, we know it, and you know that we know it.

And you can take that to the bank, you miserable son of a bitch.
If you like the way things are in America delete this. If you agree with what a fellow Wyoming citizen Patty Myers says, PASS IT ON!!!

That's one pissed off lady. She may be older, but she's got the same idea as the Wall Street protesters.

We're getting dry fucked up the ass by Washington politicians.

Unfortunately, not Alan Simpson or any of the other 435 elected congressman gives a shit about anyone but themselves.

They spew whatever bullshit it takes to fire up their "base" and get them reelected, then it's "fuck you, Jack, I've got my golden parachute."

Like I said: We're getting dry fucked up the ass by Washington politicians. The problem is that we, the voters, are so stupid that we keep letting them push the buttons that get our votes.

They all say the same thing: It's all the fault of (pick one): Republicans, Democrats, immigrants, intellectuals, old people, young people, black people, white people, brown people, women, Jews, atheists, Bible-thumpers. teachers, unions, socialists, capitalists....



I think the last honest elected official left Washington in 1960.

I know Simpson?s a Republican - but just because this woman dumped on him doesn?t mean he?s responsible for the problem.

Lookit, there are plenty of problems with Republicans, especially those of the RINO stripe (Mazzoli-Simpson, anyone?). But at least Republicans have tried to deal with Social Security - even Bush, for all his failings, took a hesitant shot at it.

But those responsible Republicans who did try to work on Social Security soon found themselves demagogued by the donkeys. For crying out loud, Biden?s doing that now. And although there may be some, I?ve never seen a Democrat put his or her political @ss on the line to work on fixing Social Security.

So wail on Simpson or whatever career politicians one wants, but the overwhelming burden of guilt in this case (and most of the others the good lady mentions) is squarely on the shoulders of the Kennedys, Dodds, Clintons, Franks, Pelosis, Reeds, Dinkinss, etc., etc., etc. of the world.

Sadly enough in this election cycle a Pi$$ed off public is an advantage for 0bama.
Sadly, I agree. The morons living in this country these days aren't smart enough to figure out that people like Barry ARE causing the problems that are pi$$ing them off. It won't be long before the pi$$ed off are out there shouting "four more years" like a bunch of seals barking for a fish at the zoo.

The Social Security account was a separate budget item with a huge amount in the black until 1968 when President Johnson raided it. Johnson created what they euphemistically called a unified budget. That let Johnson use current accounts to pay Social Security and then use the huge amassed amount to pay for his Great Society and the war in Viet Nam. (They essentially bought Democratic cotton candy and beer; blowing the money on nothing permanent and solving no problems.) The government wrote IOU?s to Social Security. It was probably one of the greatest robbery schemes in history.

Although there is still probably plenty of road left to kick the can down, more and more people realize that is what?s happening. No politician wants to be the one to stop kicking the can down the road as whoever that is will have to stop spending money like we can just print up more of it?.hey, we can print more of it? so they will.

fawk it.

They want to work on fixing it .

PUT THE FAWKING MONEY BACK THAT THEY TOOK OUT

I dont care how they do it. Tax the richest fawkers in the country until their eyes bleed.

Or take away all pensions and health inurance from congress and senate until the money is back where it belongs, and that is to the people .

It really is so simple.

Fixing SS. yeh by upping the age to 67

Why not 77 the lieing cheating corrupt fawkers.

I was watching a show the other night and a couple of seniors were living off SS.

They got 1200 a month.

how do they survive on 300 dollars a week.

maybe DTBlackgumby could advise them how to invest their money and live happily ever after.

I am sure he would not mind taking them off SS and let them starve, kinda like what Bachmaann believes.

yu know the gov tit and all.

What turnip truck you fall off of--

She nor this thread has nothing to do with
-your unemployed-scurry ridden- protesters-

-its about politicians.

If your protesters were serious about reforming polotics as much as they are about who owes them what-

-they'd look like this--
