Pay more taxes seniors

By law, Social Security benefits cannot go down states the Associated Press in an article published in the Meridian Star, Monday, August 24,2009. Retirees are starting to pay the taxes of a wayward congress and president. Senior citizens with a limited fixed income below $250,000.00 will be assessed an unreasonable tax by the US government and there will be no increase in your SS benefit. There will be no COLA increase in January 2010 as a tax to replace the $250 check each has already spent. Live on what you have! You don’t need any more money, says congress! After all, there is no inflation in this country—or so they (the president and congress) say. In my letter to the editor published on July 25, 2009 entitled, As a Nation we are Broken, this very item was listed. Seniors need to expect an increased cost in Medicare premiums, also.

Not only are we the ugly American that the president was incapable of defending with Mark Anthony speeches in Europe it is interesting to note that we are also the stupid American. The AARP and congress play with the drug cost that so many seniors need for existence and actually steal additional money when they can. A person with Sjogren Syndrome lives in constant pain requiring multiple drugs. When you fall into the AARP hole in the drug insurance game a person is billed excessively by the AARP insurance plan. Case in point: EFFEXOR XR 75 mg sells on the internet for $58.64 and sells for cash from Mr. Discount Drugs for $68.00—But the cost billed by insurance from Mr. Discount Drug Sells for $256.20—What a rip off by our congress and AARP. If you are taking PLAVIX and are in the gap, the same thing is happening. Obviously, I would not write this without proof in hand.

America, we are heading toward the path promoted by Henry Kissinger to accept a one world government with a financial system created with a one World dollar accepted as the only legal tender for mankind. Daniel, the Jew who wrote to his people in chapter 8 of his phenomenal prophecy, predicted that man would exceed the limits of God’s mercy and a king of fierce countenance will come to the world scene. This world leader will cause the world to prosper with craftiness and he will be mighty as prosperity is in his hand through trickery, craftiness and deception. And when Israel backs away from the warrior mode of their national defense and seeks peace, this king of fierce countenance will corrupt and destroy many in their security of peace. That’s what Daniel said and I believe it. It will come to pass in God’s time at the close of the gentile age.
