A lot of people in America think there is a trust-that we take your money in payroll taxes and then we hold it for you and then when you retire, we give it back to you, but that's not the way it works. There is no trust fund-just IOUs that I saw firsthand. - President George W. Bush
You're right, Mr. President. A lot of people in America still think that, but what you probably don't know is that back in 1972 when Nixon was president, the war de jour was Vietnam, and I was wearing bell-bottoms, four of the U's in those IOUs came looking for their money. I'm talking about a bunch of over-the-hill seventy year-olds: a WWI vet who paid his dues in the trenches of Europe, a small-time crook who paid his in regular installments behind bars, a hotheaded Irishman who thought dues were don'ts, and a giant gorilla who... well... He's a gorilla. Gorillas don't pay dues, and they usually get what they want.
