Angry mobs of AARP bullies to descend on Lansing MI capitol

Posted: Mar 10, 2011

AARP Michigan is hosting a rally in reaction to a State Budget proposal presented by the Governor that calls for over $1 billion in tax increases on retirees, seniors and the working poor, while cutting quality-of-life programs and services by $1.2 billion and giving businesses a $1.8 billion tax cut. AARP believes this budget is an all out attack on older Michiganders. We believe what our members are getting in this plan is a much higher tax bill and reduced services. This plan would raise taxes on 1.1 million seniors in exchange for a business tax cut, while also reducing spending for public schools and universities, police and fire fighters, local road repairs and other vital programs and services. This is unfair and unacceptable!

It won't hurt people to make room for Nana and PaPa in their homes when they can't afford to stay in their own homes. If they cut Medicare, you may also need to do some of the medical care yourself unless you want to pay for a nursing home and nursing care. Things will be different, but doable. Just buck up and accept your responsibilities with a smile. You say Granny has Alzheimer's and you have to work all day? Deal with it. Stop whining. I'm only partly joking about all of this. I think that's where we're heading. It truly isn't easy these days to take care of young children and aging parents when the money, even without cuts in Medicare, etc. Many won't be able to handle it, but I guess that's life...but I don't like it and I don't think it's wise or fair.

The hypocrisy just blows me away. Where's the outrage at the way these people are acting? March 2011: WAUWATOSA - Budget protesters shut down a town hall meeting in Wauwatosa. "Shame, shame, shame" were among the words that came out of protesters mouths as the meeting ended, according to a video taken at the meeting that was placed on YouTube. Menomonee Falls Republican Congressman Jim Sensenbrenner and Wauwatosa Republican State Senator Leah Vukmir were hosting the events at th ...

and being protrayed as supporting one candidate (Obama) over the other. Yet they're totally behind Obamacare - financially and otherwise - something that most Americans are against.

About 40 people have occupied Sen. Chuck Schumer’s (D-NY) Capitol Hill office to protest his ties to Wall Street as he prepares to lead Senate Democrats in the 115th meeting of Congress, the Associated Press reported. U.S. Capitol Police removed the protesters, who said they want Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to lead the party instead, after a Republican sweep in the elections. The protesters, who came from groups such as Black Lives Matter and Occupy Wall Street, argued that Hillary Clint ...

A gathering of black congressional staffers and other Capitol employees stood silently on the House steps Thursday and raised their hands in the air to protest the killing of unarmed black men by police.

I went to the movie Saturday. You almost have to rob a bank to go now. The popcorn for the medium size was $7.00. Ticket prices before 5 o'clock were $8.00 per person regardless of age. This got me to thinking about AARP. I do not think the prices would be any different for the movies but for other things. If anyone has AARP could you tell me a little about the savings you have found. TIA ...

My ex and I divorced YEARS ago. I've been re-married for 14 years now, have grown children from the first marriage. The relationship I had with the ex was horrible, he was unfaithful, emotionally abusive, manipulative, on and on, and as a father he was just as bad. When the divorce was final it was like he was done with me AND our kids, yet every so often he would get drunk or stoned and call letting me know how miserable he was and how he knew he screwed up and still love ...

I've been dating a guy for about 6 months now. Things are kinda serious. I asked him to attend a wedding with me this weekend. However - this is the weekend he is supposed to have his kids (the wedding invite specifically says no children). I have never asked him to spend time with me instead of his children, ever. I told him we could just go to the reception if he was worried about leaving his kids. He says he doesnt think it "looks good" to go to a wedd ...

The Angry Man For all the interest group pandering that shapes modern American politics, the group that may well have decided the election has come down to the demographic of “The Angry Man.” The Angry Man is difficult to stereotype. He comes from all economic backgrounds, from dirt-poor to filthy rich. He represents all geographic areas in America , from sophisticated urbanite to rural redneck, Deep South to Yankee North, Left Coast to Eastern Seaboard. No matter where he’s fr ...

When women work at Catholic Businesses (hospitals) and go to Catholic Colleges they are told they will not receive contraception because it is against their beliefs so go to work/school somewhere else if they want that stuff. Yet in Kansas a pharmacist is now allowed not to fill a woman's Rx for contraceptions if its against his/her religion. How about that pharmacist only work for a Religious institution then?
