As we told you

As we told you back on Friday, a group of anti-Social Security twenty-somethings who call themselves ‘Fix Our Future’ got together today on Capitol Hill for a rally-cum-ceremony to proclaim their support for abolishing <$NoAd$>Social Security.

Calling the event the ‘Storm for Reform’, these fresh-faced Storm Troopers converged on Taft Memorial Park with mobile paper-shredders in tow to shred their own Social Security statements for all the world to see.

Who could ever think these gonzos could want to do the program harm when they get together to shred their Social Security statements?

Anyway, the event announcement said that “Social Security Reform supporters will gather from all across the country in one afternoon on Capitol Hill to show their support for Social Security Reform and Personal Retirement Accounts – the issue taking our generation by storm!” And with that introduction, I’d expected at least some floodlights and choreographed marching. But apparently it was a bit more subdued.

In any case, through the magic of Internet communications, we were able to have a special TPM correspondent on hand to record the event. And in addition to the photo you see there to the right, there’s also a special photo album here for your viewing pleasure.
