Now, Amos... Whereas you may have hit upon something here, that weren't nice at all to say about my pal, Doug, 'cause me and my Wes Ginny slide rule figured my I.Q. to be in the mid 80's with a strong tail wind and well.... if that were true.... you know...ahhh, about Doug, then that would not bode well fir ol' Doug. He just likes to mess with me but I don't take it personally at all. Ya' see, A-ster, when I get making too much sense, then he just tells me to take meds or see a doctor? Hmmmmmmmmm? So I reckon he doesn't really have too much to say in defense of the R.C. (Ruling class0 on this issue of Social Security.

Funny thing is, that the R.C. has hated it ever since FDR and they have passed down the hatred to their kids and those kids to their kids but not mnasy of 'em can actually say why the hate it because there ain't no bumper stickers explainin' Boss Hog's hatred.

BUT, make no bones about it. They may not have a clue why, BUT they just hate Social Security.

Now, Amos, say yir sorry to Doug..... pleeeeezzzzee. Hey, it can even be one of those half-poligies like.... "Doug, I'm sorry if I hurt yir feelings..." You'll feel better, Amos, and so will Doug, and me and probably all God's chil'enz...

And Doug, the SS ain't like a retirement plan. Heck, I've worked more days in my 55 years than most folks will work in a life time and according to the SSA if I retire at age 62 I can expect to get a whopping $702 a month or if I wait until I'm 65, $1010 a month. Well, my health insurance is now $782 a month and when ya' figure in the deductible and stuff that is not covered I'm spending $1000 a month and I'm in purdy good health. Well, Doug, you do the math. And I am probably a representative sample of the working class that Boss Hog thinks is gettin' away with something here...

Give my boney Wes Ginny butt a break and...

Beam me up...
