American Seniors Supported by Socialist Security! Run for the Hills!

Every time I hear the health care bookies' puppets causing panic by shouting "socialism" in a crowded theater, I wonder how far up their asses they keep their heads. Especially the older ones who are obviously collecting Social Security checks every month and are therefore also receiving Medicare benefits.

Who the hell do they think is sending those checks and paying those medical bills...the arthritis fairy? Those checks are signed by the Secretary of the Treasury, people. The United States Government is picking up your tab, whether you want to believe it or not. Furthermore, this benevolence is just part of the government's insidious plan to...hang on, now...share the wealth! They're taking the taxes that we all pay and using those funds to take care of our elderly citizens!

And that's not all. They're also giving your money to the guys who build the roads and bridges that you drive on, pay the firefighters and police forces who protect you, and take care of the armed forces who fight your battles. Your money is supporting people you never met!!

And, much as I hate to extinguish the fire of your indignation, this is the way our government wants to help us all receive the health care we need. The plan is simply to use our taxes to help each other. No death panels. No grandmas on ice floes. No reduction in benefits. They're simply offering to pay our medical bills. The bastards!

Of course, if you like giving those enormous premiums to bookies who are betting against you and will do their damnedest to welsh on their bets, go ahead and keep paying them! Those of us who are secure in our social system won't stop you from cutting your own throats. Assuming, that is, you can reach them from that position.
