“Rock the Vote” Continues Rectal Spelunking
Who is “Rock the Vote?”
Rock the Vote is an MTV-sponsored organization dedicated to advancing Socialist causes among America’s youth.
Rock the Vote is a non-profit, non-partisan organization, founded in 1990 in response to a wave of attacks on freedom of speech and artistic expression.
Rock the Vote: About
Non-partisan? Rock the Vote was instrumental in distributing lies about a phony military draft in an effort to help the Democrats before last year’s Presidential election. Here’s what happened: two Democrats proposed draft bills. Rock the Vote sent out fake “You’ve been Drafted!” e-mails, claiming that there was a conspiracy to start a draft. They didn’t specifically mention that it was a Republican conspiracy, but they didn’t have to. Democrats were already spreading that lie in the media. It was simple… Rock the Vote scares people into thinking a draft is coming, and Democrats claim that it’s the Republicans who are going to push it. It worked… idiots everywhere started believing the lies.
Fast forward to 2005… despite their best efforts, Bush got reelected. But Rock the Vote isn’t done spreading their disinformation.
Rock the Vote’s work doesn’t end when the polls close. We empower young people to create change in their communities and take action on the issues they care about. Regardless of whether youth are signing petitions, running for office, contacting their elected officials, or taking up a sign in protest, they are all rocking the vote.
Rock the Vote: About
Rock the Vote has decided that the issue that young people care about is Social Security reform. RTV thinks that young people are against it. Why… RTV’s own poll indicates that two-thirds of young people support personal Social Security accounts! Rock the Vote isn’t listening to what young people want, it’s telling them what they should want.
Why should you care about Social Security?

- Because the reason Social Security needs more money in the future is that younger generations are living longer. If people are going to collect benefits for a longer period of time, then Social Security needs more money. It’s important to keep the Social Security guarantee at about the same level it is today–not less–even if that means paying a little more to get it.
- Because Social Security is retro chic.
Rock the Vote: 10 reasons to keep Social Security
Number 9 is straight out of the Communist Manifesto. “From each according to their ability, to each according to their need!” The government needs to take your money… so that they can give it back to you when you are old. Fun! Number 10 pretty much sums up the amount of thought Rock the Vote would like youths to give this issue. “All the cool kids are licking Social Security’s ass!” “Keeping your own money is so 2004.”

- Because investments are a gamble. A system that depends on good luck and bad luck can’t provide a safety net guarantee.
Rock the Vote: 10 reasons to keep Social Security
“Don’t risk your money in the Stock Market that has averaged a 9.7% annual return over the last 100 years… give it to the government! They won’t be able to give you 9.7%… but they’ll make sure you get your ~2%… even if it means that they have to rob your grandchildren to do so!”
It’s simple: young people don’t want to have to depend on the government. They’d much rather be self-sufficient. We want to keep our damn money, not loan it to crooked politicians at a 2% interest rate. Screw off, it’s our money. And anyone over 50 who opposes Social Security reform can just shut up and eat their diapers. This doesn’t concern you, “grandpa.” (Side note: 4 out of 5 members of the “entitlement generation” recommend Depend™ brand adult diapers. “There’s nothing like the comfort of being able to Depend™ on someone else to catch your shit, as well as pay for your cable bill.”)
