Well, we know what they want.  They want more for themselves and less for everybody else.  But Ill tell you what they dont want.  They dont want a population of citizens capable of critical thinking.  They dont want well-informed well-educated people capable of critical thinking.  Theyre not interested in that ... They dont want people who are smart enough to sit around the kitchen table and figure out how badly theyre getting fucked by a system that threw them overboard thirty fucking years ago.  They dont want that.  Do you know what they want?  They want obedient workers.  Obedient workers.  People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, the end of overtime and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it.  And now theyre coming for your social security money.  They want your fucking retirement money.  They want it back so they can give it to their criminal friends on Wall Street.  And do you know something – theyll get it.  Theyll get it all from you sooner or later cause they own this fucking place.  Its a big club.  And you aint in it!  You and I are not in the big club!  By the way, its the same big club they use to beat you over the head with all day long when they tell you what to believe ... what to think and what to buy.  The table is tilted, folks.  The game is rigged.  And nobody seems to notice.  Nobody seems to care.  Good honest hard-working people ... continue – and these are people of modest means – who continue to elect these rich cocksuckers who dont give a fuck about them.  They dont give a fuck about you.  They dont give a fuck about you.  They dont care about you.  At all.  At all.  At all.  George Carlin, Who Really Controls America

 

 

This social security measure gives at least some protection to thirty millions of our citizens.  F D Roosevelt

 

 

The Social Contract is nothing more or less than a vast conspiracy of human beings to lie to and humbug themselves and one another for the general Good.  Lies are the mortar that bind the savage individual man into the social masonry.  H G Wells, Love and Mr Lewisham, 1900

 

 

They want the federal program controlling Social Security like it’s some kind of federal program.  George W Bush 2nd November 2000

 

 

The effort to try to present the Social Security program as if it’s a major problem, that’s just a hidden way of trying to undermine and destroy it.  Noam Chomsky

 

 

Social Security is based on a principle.  It’s based on the principle that you care about other people.  You care whether the widow across town, a disabled widow, is going to be able to have food to eat.  Noam Chomsky

 

 

Defund social security.  Then it’ll be in trouble.  Then we’ll have to privatize it  that’s a huge bonanza for Wall Street.  Noam Chomsky, lecture University of Tennessee 25th January 2011

 

 

Why is there such an intense effort  and it’s really fanatic if you look at it  to destroy social security and public education?  They work pretty well … It’s of no value to rich people.  Noam Chomsky, lecture Oregon 20 April 2011, ‘Global Hegemony: The Facts, The Images

 

Social security and public education are based on an extremely dangerous principle: namely, that you care about other people.  ibid.  

 

 

Social Security is not just another government spending program.  It is a promise from generation to generation.  Hank Johnson

 

 

We will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it – not by turning it over to Wall Street.  Barack Obama

 

 

If we didn’t have Social Security, our seniors would live mostly in poverty.  You’d have another 18 million people in poverty.  Michael Moore

 

 

It’s not my fault that I’m like this.  Benefits: Too Fat to Work, young man, Channel 5 2015

 

I did work so why not?  ibid.  fattie

 

They get around two grand a month in handouts.  ibid.  commentary

 

All the rats need feeding.  ibid.  41-year-old Rachael

 

Rachael believes the bypass is the only option to get her weight down.  ibid.

 

Benefits wedding.  ibid.

 

Super-size disability benefits.  ibid.

 

She hasn’t had a job for more than twenty years.  ibid.

 

 

Meet the Kerrigans.  Three generations of a family who all live within a stone’s throw of each other.  Theyve got strong opinions.  They say it how it is.  And they don’t care what anyone thinks.  My Big Benefits Family, Channel 5 2015

 

The family that claims together stays together.  ibid.

 

 

Meet the mums who are bringing up babies on the dole.  Benefits: 19 Kids and Counting, Channel 5 2017

 

 

The government is cracking down on benefit claims – one and a half million payments are being affected.  Ministers say it’s tough love.  But others say it’s tough luck.  Dispatches: Britains Benefits Crackdown, Channel 4 2015

 

Supporters of sanctions say they make welfare fairer.  So who benefits from Britain’s benefits crackdown?  ibid.

 

Over twelve months more than half a million people were sanctioned.  ibid.

 

The DWP has investigated forty-nine deaths.  ibid.

 

‘This is our contract with the British people – to bring an end to the something for nothing culture.’  ibid.  Ian Duncan Smith

 

 

Two and a half million people are on disability benefit.  It costs us £13 billion a year.  Now Channel 4 Dispatches has uncovered evidence that a tough regime of tests is secretly trying to push almost 90% of these claimants off the sick to look for work.  Dispatches: Britain on the Sick, Channel 4 2012

 

The head of the mental health charity MIND stepped down from the official scrutiny panel calling the system inhumane.  ibid.

 

It was Labour who first hired Atos.  ibid.

 

Even losing a whole arm is not considered enough to quality for significant disability points.  ibid.

 

The Atos assessors have targets for the number of people taken off benefits.  ibid.

 

 

How much is too much?  We meet the families hit by the new cap on their benefits … Who will really end up paying?  Dispatches: Britain’s Benefits Families, Channel 4 2017

 

 

Nobody on the dole counts, friend.  Alan Bleasdale, Boys from the Black Stuff: Jobs For the *****  Dixie Dean to benefits officer, BBC 1982

 

 

They’re after me.  The whatsits.  The dole.  Boys from the Black Stuff: Moonlighter, wife of Dixie to friend

 

You are shite.  You are nothing.  You’re the dregs dragged here off the dole.  ibid.  thief to Dixie

 

 

A woman who has recently become aware of the massive and total futility of her life.  Boys from the Blackstuff: Shop thy Neighbour, social security boss to officer

 

 

Mr Hughes, we’re from the social services.  Alan Bleasdale, Boys from the Blackstuff: Yosser’s Story, SS bloke

 

Don’t come back unless you bring an army.  ibid.  Yosser to social services

 

 

It’s a tough new government policy for the unemployed: get a job or we’ll cut your benefits.  The government says life shouldn’t be easy on state handouts.  Thousands of families have had their housing benefit cut to fifty pence a week.  Parents who’ve not worked for years are having their lives turned upside down.  So can the benefit cap force people back to work?  Panorama: The Benefits Cap: Is it Working? BBC 2017

 

The benefit cap is changing lives but is it working?  ibid.  

 

More than 67,000 households have been capped so far.  Of those 11% have had their housing benefit cut to fifty pence a week.  ibid.
