Federal law changes made since 1983 have allowed corporations and corporate raiders to loot pensions, 401K, and savings plans, and weaken retirement security. The social insurance plans of Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid are the only things standing between older Americans, as well as low and medium income Americans, and poverty. Proposals over the past year are grounded on the premise that the 99% should pay for the cost of military expansions of the past and to fund more corporate bailouts. However, there is more than enough money to protect vital benefits and pensions by ending tax cuts to the super wealthy and by cutting military spending. This will only happen if people organize and mobilize.
