Liberal Tea Party
I figured it out, guys:
We’re not gonna pay for Medicare.
As a mental exercise, draw a Venn Diagram of Angry Old White People and the Tea Party. It’s a circle.
So, health care is pretty much dead right? Right, because we’re not going to start funding socialized health care in 2010. This is America.
So get a job you old bastards, because your next hip replacement is on you. They want to rally behind Rick Santelli, the guy who said “I’m not going to subsidize some loser’s mortgage just because the economy tanked,” and the beautiful poetry of Sarah Palin’s “how’s that hopey-changey thing workin’ out for ya?” (Yeah, that’s been a tea party slogan for months but to be fair, she thought their posters were cue cards) Fine. We won’t do socialism anymore. Starting with those old Republican parasitic hypocrites.
If you’re under 30, probably if you’re under 40, you’re never getting Medicare. Never. NFW. In the next few decades it and the other socialism/entitlement programs will balloon to eat the entire fucking budget. You think that will actually come to pass? No, you idiot. They’re just going to cancel it for you after you finish paying off the Baby Boomers’ Cialis prescription. The people getting Medicare now are flat-out stealing from you.
They are refusing to fix the problems of 40+ years from now. So why should I be beholden to the agreements of 40+ years ago? Those men who came up with Medicare are dead and buried, and they set up a system that’s going to fuck over each and every one of us in our generation personally.
If they (they = the angry old mob and their GOP reps) aren’t even going to try to fix health care so it’s still a working concept when I’m 50, then we sure as hell shouldn’t pay to keep them alive so they can keep wrecking everything. I’m not saying I hope they die. I’m just saying that unless they pay for it themselves they’re being thieving, dishonest fucks.
So this April, calculate how much of your taxes are going to medicare. Then subtract. Starve the beast of its prescription benefits.
