Of course, if this car was at the far end of the lot, then who cares. But, this was funny!

LIBERTY: “Social Security Insurance” theft

Saturday, January 13, 2007

From an alumni obit

***Begin Quote***

John M. Conrad, Sr., 64, a resident of Hopewell Junction for 12 years and formerly of Mount Vernon, died unexpectedly on Saturday, December 23, 2006 at Vassar Brothers Medical Center, Poughkeepsie.. He was a graduate of Manhattan College. He was employed as a real estate manager for IBM, White Plains for 30 years until his retirement in 1991. He was currently working as a certified real estate appraiser for Trans Union of Albany and Buffalo.

No, it’s not in the wrong category. This is really about Liberty.

Here’s an example of the tyranny of government.

DO you think this fellow would have paid 15% of his lifetime earnings into an insurance policy that was an annuity that didn’t payoff anything if he died?

Nah!

While it is true that the widow can collect “on his record” which gives her the greater of her benefit or his benefit. Either of which is enough for “dog food”.

I bet his IBM pension covers his spouse in full. That is that there is no nonsense about discount.

And, it is true that there is a small disability benefit during his working years. But you don’t think those ads in the paper by lawyers offering to sue for your social security insurance disability benefit are there because it’s easy to claim that benefit?

And, if I sold you an annuity that had no guaranteed payout or no value if you died before collecting anything, then I bet I’d be in jail for theft. If you look at the sites of those who sell insurance, you’ll find that you can’t buy that type of policy without a ton of paperwork. Some require the notarized signature of the spouse “waiving” the option. And, they require an attorney, paid for but not retained by the insurance company to represent the buyer’s interest. Some don’t even offer the option at all.

So, why do we permit political thugs to rob us? Enslave us? Make us poorer? It’s like being a slave.
