Fred D. Mason: “Stop Any Cuts to Social Security Benefits!”
from: Bill Hughes
A demonstration was held at noon, on Tuesday, July 2nd, at the Social Security Headquarters at Woodlawn, in Baltimore County, MD. Activists were scheduled to form a “human chain” outside parts of the complex to say “no” to a scheme entitled, “Chained CPI.” It has been put on the table by the Obama-Biden administration to please, some suspect, the wirepullers on Wall Street. It will surely hurt folks on Social Security and aid the notoriously greedy 1% Gang. See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/federal-eye/wp/2013/04/18/how-would-chained-cpi-affect-your-benefits/. Its purpose is to cut Social Security benefits by “letting inflation eat into annual cost-of-living increases.” One of the speakers at the rally was Fred D. Mason. He’s President of the Maryland State and D.C. AFL-CIO. Mason said that people in this country are getting fed-up with politics that places unfair burdens on working class people and the retirees. The Chained CPI scheme, he revealed, will take “$300 billion on more” out of Social Security. Mason added: “I’m mad as hell...The people are getting mad as hell, too, and they aren’t going to take it anymore...It’s time to stand-up and fight back.” The rally was sponsored by the “Alliance for Retired Americans.”
