Social Security is not in financial trouble (if the feds pay back all they have borrowed [stolen]. Americans are continuously being lied to by the big two (dems and repubs). We NEED a REAL change . Get qualified Green Party candidates in the Senate and House of state and federal government , then WE WIL see a CHANGE ! But not until then because Wall Street rules our so-called democracy (but it’s really a sham !)

EVEN THOUGH THEY MADE SURE WITH POLLS UP THE WAZOO THAT THEY WERE ON FIRM GROUND AND WOULDN’T BRING DOWN TOO MUCH SCRUTINY BY THE LAPDOG MEDIA, DEMS DID STAND UP FOR SS WHEN IT WAS BEING ASSAULTED BY THE CORPORATOCRACY, INCLUDING THE MEDIA.

THERE ARE MANY REPUGNOCRATS TO GO AROUND BUT ON THIS ONE, DEMS GET A HAND FROM ME.

NOW...THE WAR IN IWRECK IS ANOTHER STORY.

Social Security is in trouble!!  The payroll tax keeps increaseing and less and less people are paying in!!  the only thing thats really a sham is Social Security!  Our Social Security money is building bridges when it should be kept out of politicians hands.  You and me should have accounts with our names on them!!!

When you and I all have accounts with our names on them, Big Wall Street Corporatocracy will be making BIG, BIG Bucks.  Don’t you see that’s what they want?  Keep Social Security public, where it belongs!  Keep Wall Street out of our pockets!  (And SS is not in trouble, despite what the right-wing propagandists say.)

There is no Social Security crisis except the phoney crisis created by George Bush in order to do away with Social Security.

If things continue, soon there will be no middle class left in America - just a corporate/ruling class, and peasents who have to work until they drop dead - no pensions and no Social Security to retire on.

The Social Security “crisis” boils down to the fact that when SS has to start drawing down its trust funds to pay benefits to baby boomers, the federal government will have to borrow elsewhere or raise taxes to make the payments.  But there is a REAL crisis brewing:  Medicare.  Still, privatization is NOT the answer.

I’m confused.  George Bush created a phoney crisis so Wall Street could get rich?  Didn’t Bill Clinton support personal accounts?

All efforts at getting this system changed are GREAT but the video (with unhearable audio) might not be the best for activist progressives

To Whom It May Concern:
I have worked all my life and paid into SS since 16 yrs. old. I am now almost 69.Why am I not entitled to draw social security without the brokers lining their pockets?
I don’t want privatization at all!
My husband agrees with me. He has worked hard too. We are sick of a govt. that favors big business. They retire with billions taken from us and we can’t even have social security?

How ironic that this “representative” has the same surname as the most famous family of progressive politicians.
