Stand to Protect Medicare (Social Security)

We've got to fix the deficit, say our politicians. Well, of course we do. But how are they proposing to do it? Are they talking about making the wealthiest corporations, like Bank of America or GE, pay their fair share of taxes? Nope. Not that. Are they talking about ending the wars (how many are we in now, anyway? 3? 4? 5?) Nope. Not that. Are they talking about cutting the military, which is where at least half of every tax-payer dollar goes? Nope. Not that.

So what in the heck are our politicos talking about doing to fix the deficit? Cutting Medicare! Yeah, really. Hard to believe, isn't it? They've also been talking about cutting Medicaid and Social Security, too. It boggles the mind.

Franklin Square at the intersection of Genesee St and Oriskany Blvd in Utica. 5 PM. Stand to protect Social Security. Protest. Let them know how we feel. Let them know we didn't elect anyone to take away Social Security (or Medicare). No way.

Be there or be square.

P.S. Medicare and Social Security have nothing to do with the deficit, anyway. It's all a big blackmail scheme: You try to make us pay our fair share of taxes and watch what happens to you!
