It's immoral, indecent, obscene.

It ain’t the cost of Social Security and Medicare that has caused my country to be in financial trouble. Let’s face reality, my fellow Americans. Instead, it’s wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and Libya. And add to that our failure to adequately tax the rich. We waged war and gave the rich unwarranted tax breaks. Think about it, folks. We’ve wasted trillions of dollars on wars. And we’ve lowered tax rates for millionaires and billionaires to the tune of trillions of dollars. So how are we gonna solve the problem? Well, if Republicans have their way, we’ll privatize and rob Social Security and rob Medicare to save enough money to pay for wars and tax breaks for the rich. It’s immoral. It’s indecent. It’s obscene. But finally, some of us are waking up. We are finally rising up and telling our mealy-mouthed politicians to get it right for a change. To serve the common good. Rather than the good of the rich and the war-mongers. –Jim Broede
