Lockheed Martin's CEO Is After Your Social Security Check!

Tell committee members to keep war contractors' hands off the money that should go to Social Security and Medicare: http://warcosts.com

The law that created the deficit committee also created a zero-sum game: Any expensive program that escapes the budget knife does so at the expense of cuts to other programs. If the military contractors succeed in keeping the war budget intact, they'll likely do so at the expense of Social Security and Medicare. That means money that would go to your Social Security or Medicare benefits will instead go into the hands of people like Lockheed Martin CEO Robert J. Stephens, who last year made $21.9 million, almost totally from taxpayer-funded military contracts.

This should an easy choice: cut the war budget.

Tell committee members you want military contractors' hands off the money that should go to Social Security and Medicare. http://warcosts.com

"A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes."

- Major General Smedley Butler ("War Is A Racket")

Send all of the politicians and their Wall St. masters over to the middle east to fight the so called "terrorists". America is run by the evil banksters; the merchants of death, poverty and destruction.

Your social security check won't be worth much if the demorats take away our defense systems - if the demorats and ovomit have it their way, they would outfit our Army with paint ball guns.

Cut social security? How can you cut something people pay in their entire lives. Its like a bank saying it would "cut" their peoples savings accounts because they need money for new equipment.
