For nearly 30 years, the United States government has been cheating millions of Social Security recipients out of up to 60% of their EARNED benefits due to the unfair WEP and GPO laws. Bills to repeal these laws that have thrown many seniors into complete poverty are never even voted on by our cowardly congress. That’s because whenever a bill to repeal these unfair laws they are tied up in committee and never see the light of day. Our congress people whine that they can’t live on their $174,000 per year salaries, yet they have no trouble sleeping at nights when America’s senior citizens have been forced into poverty because of this nation’s corrupt Social Security laws. We can’t afford to pay seniors the benefits that they actually earned but we can afford to give away billions to foreign banks, and squander over FOUR TRILLION DOLLARS in Iraq and Afghanistan.
