You Retire Early And Liberals Say You Are Unpatriotic

To liberals, publishing the enemy military secret – even in a time of war (NY Times) is not unpatriotic.

To liberals, picketing injured veterans on their way to the hospital for therapy and treatment is not unpatriotic.

To liberals, blocking military recruitment centers is not unpatriotic (Code Pink).

To liberal presidential candidates, taking corporate profits legally earned or hanging out with bigots and domestic terrorists is not unpatriotic (Hillary and KKK God-Damn America Hussein Obama).

But, according to Andrew L. Yarrow, is visiting history professor at American University, retiring early “is profoundly selfish and unpatriotic.” This piece of elitist, communist dog manure was a Clinton political appointee (go figure), and received fellowships from the European Union, the French Government, the Kennedy and Truman Presidential Libraries. In other words, a total traitor to this nation.

Is 'early' retirement ... well, unpatriotic?
BY ANDREW L. YARROW

“When I hear my fellow baby boomers gleefully talk about their plans to retire ASAP, head for the Tuscan hills or otherwise continue their lifelong quest for "self-actualization," I have to bite my tongue.

It's not that I'm all work and no play. But there's just something -- lots of things -- wrong, in general, with retiring at 55, 62 or even 65. I would go so far as to call it profoundly selfish and unpatriotic.

For individuals, working longer can mean more income and savings and something to bequeath to one's children. For the nation, if millions of us worked until 67 instead of 62, Americans' wealth and consumption would increase appreciably, fueling stronger economic growth.

That added income would provide about $800 billion in additional tax revenue and reduce government benefit costs by at least $100 billion in 2045, according to Urban Institute calculations. This alone would cut the projected deficit in 2045 by 159 percent.

To encourage such behavior, Social Security benefits taken before age 66 or 70 could be more highly taxed [Ed. Note: This is money the government ALREADY TOOK as a tax, remember], and employee rates of Social Security taxation could be progressively reduced for each year worked after 66 or 70. Or the government could provide a similar sliding tax credit for Americans who continue working beyond age 70.” (article)


This idiot has a job where he sits in his ivory tower and pontificates or walks into a classroom to propagandize for communism. This low life doesn't really 'work'. So it is easy for him to say, just bust your hump on those cement plant floors or out in the bad weather, until you keel over.

To liberals, you are a cow to be milked for tax dollars until you die. FDR’s Ponzi scheme gets to keep your money and you get nothing. And thanks to the ‘Death Tax”, your children get half of what you ALREADY paid taxes on – if they can afford to do that! You see if your wealth is in property, your children have to repay half its value in taxes to actually get the property.

Liberals worship at the altar of government. You are simply the means to pay for it. My fellow Americans, can’t you see what liberals are? They are low life, blood-sucking traitors to our nation. Pure and simple.
