Millenials, Gen-X: Guinta to Steal Your Social Securityby: Dean BarkerThu Oct 21, 2010 at 06:05:48 AM EDT |

I've said this before in a general sense. And the continuing scandal over Frank Guinta's refusal to prove that $355,000 of his campaign money came from him is unfairly blocking this "hair-on-fire" issue from getting the traction it deserves.
But let's be clear. A Congress with a Frank Guinta in it is one step closer to two generations of workers getting the reward of their Social Security, to which system they have been contributing for years, stolen from them: For two decades I've been paying into the system for those older than me. Frank doesn't want his kids or anyone else's kids to do the same for me. He doesn't even want them to know what Social Security is. When pressed by Carol Shea-Porter at the debate on how he was going to do this while at the same time honoring the commitment to those already in the system, he was either too ignorant or too dishonest to answer outside of his non-answering talking points. This is a huge deal. Frank Guinta might be able to rely on hundreds of thousands of mystery money dollars to get him through retirement, but you and I and regular law-abiding folks don't have access to those kinds of magical bank accounts. Do you have friends and neighbors who are Millenials or Ge X-ers in the first district? Or others who care about them? Because they need to know ASAP. |
