Happy bidding!
   
Happy bidding!

This is an eBay EXCLUSIVE!


Due to the surprising failure of carefully staged "conversations" across America to convince the American Public that Privatizing Social Security is a good thing, we have decided to take matters into our own hands.

As a favor to President Bush and offered exclusively here to the winning bidder who meets our reserve (must be a private Brokerage Firm, see details below) Billionaires For Bush can't wait to pull the switch on retirement security by circumventing Congress, the Will of the People, and good sense. Why not cut right to the chase?

Concurrent with White House Goals and the Cato Institute, we're

AUCTIONING OFF SOCIAL SECURITY!

(Please note: Qualified bidders must be a Wall St brokerage firm! See disclaimer below.)

Facts:

$ It’s the government’s most popular program.

$ It’s running a huge surplus.

$ It disbursed $492 billion to retirees, their survivors, the disabled and orphans in 2004—47 million people in all. And very few of those were CEOs!

$ It delivers money straight to those who have paid into the fund, leaving brokerage houses completely out of the loop.


Benefits:

$ Right now the system pays benefits to retirees, widoweds, disabled people, and orphans.

$ It is also one of the cheapest and most cost efficient government-run systems.

$ BUT, there is a major flaw in all of this; Wall St. isn’t cut into the deal!

$ Bid today and put Social Security on the market! It may be a gamble for the many, but it’s a sure thing for the lucky few here on Wall St – we make our comissions whether the market goes up or down!

Wear and Tear Q & A:

Q: The system was created in a different era to handle different needs, isn’t it time we destroy it?

$ In fact, at 70 years old, the system is still one of the most successful in American History!

Q: Isn’t the system on the verge of failing? President Bush said so. He wouldn’t fudge the facts, would he?

$ Don’t believe the rumors. Like the war in Iraq, sometimes the President has to play with the facts to sell his policies to the American People. As a possible bidder, you deserve the truth:

Currently at a surplus, Social Security will only go broke if you calculate the numbers using the “infinite horizon” scale.

By that same measure – making George Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy elite permanent would cost the American People $20 trillion!

Hey, that’s a good idea! President Bush’s tax cuts = $20 trillion the wealthiest 1% DON’T have to pay supporting things we don’t use like affordable health insurance, mass transit, public education, and body armor for our troops!

Huzzah!


Risk:

$ What risk? Wall St. stands to earn as much as $279 Billion in fees in the first 10 years alone!

That’s money being wasted in the pockets of the elderly and infirm too weak to go out and spend it today.


Shipping:

$ Also known as transition costs transferring fees are estimated to cost an average of $4,900,000,000,000 (that’s almost $5 trillion) in the first 20 years alone!

$ But don’t worry! All transition fees will be covered by the American Public!


What You Get:

$ Winning bidder (to repeat, you must be a Wall St. Firm (see note below) may immediately begin charging ordinary Americans:

Brokerage fees!     Deposit fees!
Management fees!     Service fees!
Early withdrawal fees!     Fees to process fees!

New owners will be allowed to invent any new fees we haven’t thought of yet!


Happy bidding!

Disclaimer:

Though we can’t seriously auction off a revered public trust that in fact, we do not own, we do ask you to bid – Wall St. Firms representing Halliburton, Enron, Worldcom and other once or current corporate giants are welcomed.

FREE BONUS FOR BIDDERS!


All serious bidders will be referred to Congress and the White House for increased access and special favors!

WHO IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BID:

Employees of government, their families, and any American citizen that actually needs Social Security, or will one day in the future, are not eligible to bid.

But average Americans will remain eligible to pay for the services of the many brokerage houses that will manage their private accounts.


Seriously though...

Okay, we aren’t selling anything but a representation of a scheme designed to turn a social insurance policy for the public into a private gamble where the only insurance left is in the billions of dollars in fees that will be reaped by Brokerage houses and their ilk.
