I got my yearly pittance information from SS today and thought with all the giving going around here to the super rich etc. maybe they had a thought about all us entitled useless citizens on the doll and might give them something nice for Christmas too.
It would have been fair, as I hear in the background CSpan's discussion on tax cuts at the house, to throw in a couple of bucks for us.
I am also fully aware of the fact that after all is said and done, when the bill is passed and the republicans are in power, they are going to go for the throat on cutbacks and where will they be starting. Social Security perhaps? We could take that money that we aren't going to get and store up on food for the coming weeks so we won't be eating dirt, at least temporarily.
Since we haven't had a cost of living increase in 2 years and surely there has been a cost of living increase for everyone, maybe, it's just a thought, that the people who need it, paid into it, worked for it, might be entitled to it.
I don't give a shit about the rich and their needs. I care about my needs and if I hear another word about making these tax cuts permanent, I can't really say what I am liable to do. I understand that this country is fragile and economically we are on the thin line, however, why has it become common practice to ignore the poor and the elderly in favor of the rich and corporations? These bastards will never do a thing for the people of this country. When will America wake up and see that this government has an agenda that doesn't include the working man or the elderly. It's all a veil of bullshit. Believe it and you are a fool, worse, the more you sit on your asses and do nothing about what is happening here, the more "nothing" you will get. I have personally signed every petition that has come to my mailbox, watched Bernard Sanders explain this bill for 8 hours and I get it. What I don't get is why our elected officials do not hear anything that the people say.
What happened to taking care of your neighbors, all ye Christian brothers and sisters? Especially during this very important holiday season? You know, how important it is to get home to your families and not have to be bothered by discussion that doesn't impact on you or your pious lives. What bible are you reading? And really, who the hell are you people that sit around and decide who is going to survive and who isn't.
Fuck you and Merry Christmas
