Hey, Tea Party activists, here’s an idea

To the Tea Party activists and anti-big government advocates:

I am tired of slogans like “Down with ObamaCare,” “No More Government Regulations” (translated to mean government takeovers), “Take Back Our Government,” “No More Bailouts,” etc.

It’s time for action!

Let’s do something that our past president proposed — let’s privatize Social Security and take it out of the hands of Big Government.

I ask Congress to allow the triumvirate of Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and Goldman Sachs to oversee the Social Security funds, insured by AIG and deposited with Citigroup. This way we know that our funds are being invested in our best interests and properly secured.

I personally seek the executive decision-making position as an experienced financial planner. I am well qualified since I have for years lived in Nevada where gambling is legal and have the credentials to prove my worthiness at poker and blackjack.

I will forgo any salary as long as I am guaranteed my annual multimillion-dollar bonus with no correlation to actual performance.
