Stealing from Seniors by the Democrat Party

 
For the first time in history, the Democratic Congress will not allow an increase in the social security COLA (cost of living adjustment). In fact, The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation predicts there may not be any COLA for the next three years.

However, the per person monthly Medicare insurance premium will be increased from the 2009 premium of $96.40 to $104.20 in 2010 and to $120.20 for the year 2011.

Remember, Congress passed a bill to get their annual increases automatically so they wouldn't have to be burdened with voting for it each year. Who do you think they are watching out for: the people who elected them or for themselves?? P.S. Congress just gave themselves a $2 billion pay raise. Don’t continue to let this happen. Your pocket book and way of life are at stake.

Send this to all seniors that you know. Remind them to not vote for the incumbent senators and congressmen in the 2010 and the 2012 elections.
 

The Democrats have enriched themselves at the expense of Senior Citizens. Is there a dime in the Porkulus Bill for Seniors? The proposals for health care reform, all are based on taking $500 BILLION dollars from Medicare. Now there is this issue of NO COST OF LIVING INCREASE while congress enriches themselves with:
1. $93,000 per congresspersons PETTY CASH account !
2. A cost of living increase every year on automatic pilot
3. Better medical plans (exempt from whatever they do for health care reform) !
4. Better vacations than the average American. They travel all over the world for free.
5.Better retirement than the average American !
6. Inside information
7. Look at the Congressional Wealth page (click)
and these items are the tip of the iceberg.

To all Seniors-Democrats, Republicans, and Independents. When are you going to stop voting for these people that
have been STEALING from us for years !

Where is the shared sacrifice by others? Where is the sacrifice by Congress? Where is the sacrifice by the WOGS?

The time is now to prepare to remove all people in congress that are voting AGAINST seniors !


How long will it take the Democrats to absolve Charlie of these
obvious "errors in judgment"?

Can't the American people expect any honesty in Congress or will we be
fed another "mistakes were made" excuse" while Rangel gets a "get out of jail free" card.

 
Rep. Charlie Rangel's multimillion-dollar "oops" this month raises plenty of good questions, but this may be the best: How can Democrats continue to close their eyes to such sleaze? And, more to the point, this: Will prosecutors follow up on any of it?Rangel's "corrections" to his financial-disclosure statements from 2002 through 2007 are stunning, even by the low standards of this "error-prone paperwork-filer -- who, by the way, happens to be in charge of writing the nation's tax laws. The Harlem Dem now admits that he failed to disclose several million dollars in income and business deals during those years -- including up to $1 million from the sale of a building on 132nd Street.
 
How could that happen? Charlie won't say. Even stranger, city records show that Rangel still owns the building. How can that be, if Rangel sold it, as he now claims? Maybe the records are wrong, but Charlie's not talking.  There are adjustments -- as much as $780,000 -- in the value of his assets:

* An "omitted" checking account valued between $250,000 to $500,000.
* Another fund worth up to $100,000.
* Unreported investment portfolios said to be between $15,000 and $50,000.

The unreported business deals total a jaw-dropping $3 million.

So what explains all this?  Yup: Charlie's lips are zipped.  Absent anything dispositive, the best that can be assumed is that the nation's tax-writer-in-chief is sloppy, careless -- dare we say, incompetent? -- beyond all possible credibility. That's bad enough. But given his mile-long record of "lapses" -- even before these latest "oversights" -- the public is left to wonder: What is Rangel hiding?  Remember, none of this would have come to light at all had the Sunday Post not broken the story, almost exactly a year ago, about his failure to disclose -- and pay tax on -- some $75,000 in rental income from his Caribbean villa. Then followed revelations about his:

* Four rent-stabilized apartments.
* Apparent quid pro quo in preserving a tax loophole for an oil company that donated $1 million to a planned "public service" center named for Rangel.

Last May, the Sunday Post disclosed yet another Rangel scandal, involving corporate junkets to the Caribbean.  Yes, the House -- which is controlled by fellow Democrats -- has begun investigations. But so far it's failed to act. And there's scant reason to think it ever will.  Dems may rather tolerate such sleaze than take on the Ways and Means Committee chairman, but they do so only by smearing their own reputations.  But this shouldn't stop law-enforcement officials from launching their own probe. Rangel's lengthy, inexplicable "oversights" demand immediate action.
