75th Anniversary of Social Security

On the 75th anniversary of Social Security, Greatbroad shares her view that the richest Americans do not share the burden of defending freedom equally with the poor. Paying more into Social Security to support American safety net is the least they can do for those classes who fight their battles for them.

Just like George Carlin said, they're coming after your social security money, and they'll get it.

The "owners" of this place pretty much have a lock on the future of humanity, unless millions of people take to the streets in chaos.

@BayAreaLen yeah, I've been wanting to "check out" of planet Earth for at least 30 years now. It's so tough, but I'm glad I'm older because I got to live a bit in the 1970's -- before it all went to shit for the middle class.

But I'm doing strange things, that I never thought I would do before. Like thinking about what happens after death. And, I'm not saying because I think suicide is a good idea -- quite the opposite.

But here's an interesting video from 2007.

@greatbroad This video really made me think about why we are suffering so. But it is very weird and I don't want you to think I'm nuts. But at the risk that you will, sometime check out this video on my "favorites" I put there the other day. About a voice after death. He says:

"trying something -- of this world -- to change the world," doesn't work.

So, if you can get past the first 30 weird seconds, this guy who killed himself shares a bit of wisdom w/others who suffer.

@DanaDurnford Thanks, Dana. Coming from you, I cherish the compliment.

The story behind the sign is that I was alerted to a meeting by a moveon(dot)org email and assumed there would also be a rally. It was at an Aurora library, (2nd largest city in IL, btw) so I made my SS sign and came over, ready-to-rumble @ said meeting. To my great astonishment, it was a "classroom" activity about Social Security, and my sign wasn't needed at the moment.

So, I rumbled in letter and vid, instead.

@greatbroad Yes, it was a bit difficult to follow, but any words of wisdom from the trenches in this life, speak miles over fabricated nonsense that we call "news" these days.
