Nick Ruiz is running against anti-Social Security fanatic John Mica in the Orlando area. A professor and activist, Nick is pretty passionate on this subject:
“There is a sinister trick to rob citizens of retirement security, which is being promulgated as sound policy in this discussion. Let’s reveal it. Congress and the President have continued to stifle wages and reduce job opportunities for citizens, and now suggest that upon retirement or disablement, people should receive less. Why? By all measures, the economy needs more jobs, and citizens need higher wages, with more robust retirement and disablement assistance. So, reducing any of these things will make people suffer.
“But the Congress is not suffering. Nor is the President. Nor is the Fortune 500 that bankroll fake populist political campaigns and wealth-biased policy think tanks. Thus, it’s plain to see. This President and Congress, enabled by the wealthy and their enterprises– aim to make Americans suffer. There are many selfish reasons why they would do this, that are probably beyond the scope of a conversation about cutting benefits with the chained CPI trick– but it starts with the basic premise that the world economy will not grow for the foreseeable future. With smaller net margins expected, the capital stream is being tightened to preserve their wealth and nothing else.
“The important thing to recognize is that these hateful agendas that will further decimate average living standards will not stop– unless progressives stop them.”
Clue alert! This man has one.
“aim to make Americans suffer.” Proving once again that conspiracies ‘do’ exist in real life. Dispite the fact that the 1% always calls those that believe in them “crazy.” Lenny Bruce wasn’t crazy. And neither was Jim Garrison.
