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 commissions whether the market
goes up or down!

Sold AS IS
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!

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, don’t worry!! Ordinary Americans will remain eligible to pay your
brokerage houses to 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 to be reaped by brokerage houses and their ilk.
