I agree, politically slanted posts shouldn’t have a place on this site. I might change my mind if there was an equal representation of stupid liberal protesters (which I’m sure there are plenty), but it doesn’t even attempt to be neutral. I come to this site to be entertained, not to feel like my political views are being mocked.

also, define “easily pay for their own health care.” do you know how hard it is for someone with a degree to get a job anymore, let alone get the degree, go to a good high school, or not be in poorer living conditions white middle-class americans are willing to acknowledge?

Given that the middle class in America arrived before any of those things, you’re quite obviously wrong.

“And answer me this before you start deriding me as another brainless liberal: Medicare is a government-provided service. How does the government provide services without revenue?”

Medicare is an insurance provider. It operates the way all insurance providers do, by collecting the premiums.

Except, with Medicare, they take those insurance premiums and buy bass boats for all the managers.

(Not really, but buuying bass boats for everyone would be more productive than what they actually do)

Medicare “taxes” are, in reality, insurance premiums.

If an evil private corporation took a lifetime of premium payments, and then, years down the road, decided to withhold benefits, these liberal idiots would be screaming and running to another Michael Moore movie.

But when government decides to screw you, well that’s OK!
