The "Usual Scam"

Whenever they want to sell us on an expensive giveaway program (another swindle), they “low-ball” it. They tell us how much THEY figure it’s going to cost and it’s always about 500% LESS than it actually ends up costing. Social Security, for instance, was only supposed to cost a few million. But it now costs TEN TIMES as much as they told us it would (it's bankrupt) they said that only the top 3% (the “rich”) would ever have to pay it. Now the IRS is auditing waitresses and cab drivers for their TIPS! They're still taking taxes out my little bit of a job. I'm still paying INTO Social Security! Even though I'm collecting a pittance FROM it. Keep that in mind when they tell you how much their latest swindle is going to cost you. They’re doing it now on the “takeover” of the health care business and Cap & Trade. (IBD Editorials)
