People who loot the retirement funds set aside for retired Americans are criminals regardless of which political party or country club they're members of.
You can't buy yourself respectability by wrapping yourself in an American flag or complaining that certain other criminals must be far worse than you are.
Or even more ridiculous, claiming you can't possibly be a criminal because millions of Americans voted you into a position of public trust, so your crimes weren't really your fault but the voters.
Very few retirees have ever been in a position to be able to loot the money from their own retirement funds with the cooperation of crooked actuaries. Only company owners and executives and elected officials have held those positions of power.
We've run out of other people's Social Security taxes needed to subsidize our low income tax rates.
