TV Ad: Tim Walberg "Pink Slip" MI-7

Tim Walberg wants to go back to Congress.

But what did he do to help Michigan the last time he had the job?

Watch the new TV ad Michigan members of SEIU released that highlights Tim Walberg's history of siding with Big Oil and Wall Street hedge fund managers--instead of Michigan's middle class families the last time he was in Congress.

When our auto industries were struggling -- Walberg skipped the vote to help them get them back on their feet.

He opposed middle class tax cuts...but voted for tax breaks for oil companies and hedge funds.

And Walberg even says he wants to privatize and eliminate Social Security.

We already gave Walberg a pink slip. This time, let's make sure he gets the message.

OK i want to clear this up. Tim walberg doesnt want to get rid of social security, he simply said that anyone new should have the option to keep theirs the same or invest it privatly. they would have a choice. So if they wanted they could keep it the same and let the government invest it or they could invest privatly with there social security. God forbid the government would give us an option. it makes me mad how the Democrats lie like that and say he is trying to get rid of it. THAT ISNT TRUE

Hey SEIU: Fuck you, you fucking union thugs. Get a fucking life and compete in real-world capitalism like the rest of us you lazy fucking bastards. Stop paying politicians to pay government thugs to point guns at people who EARN a living to pay for your fucking programs that you're all too much of broke-dick losers to pay for yourselves. Stop ruining our fucking country and quit already. Nobody needs you. No producer wants you around. You only have jobs because people are forced to hire you all.

Another thing, if you think that only 7% of your paycheck is taken out for Social Security purposes, you'd be wrong. The employer pays a matching 7% for each employee. Does anybody honestly believe an employer takes that out of their account rather than simply pay everyone 7% less to make up the difference?

Because if people knew 14% of their earnings were taken out for Social Security, it might not be as popular for buying votes.

Classic example of an embedded tax.

Hey if Social Security is such a great thing, why would any state or individual who attempted to start the exact same thing be arrested for operating an illegal Ponzi scheme? Should our federal government be above the law?

Is there anybody who honestly believes the federal government with a trillion dollar deficit will do a better job with their retirement money than they can themselves?
