No it's not. It's what you (as a group) say you want but what you really want is for things to be done your way regardless of what the majority of Americans want.
Besides, everything has changed. You can't go backward and I'm quite sure you don't really want to. Subsistence living is pretty grim.
Dream on jackass, IF it happens, (but it wont) it'll be....Praise Jebus, or your choice of G.O.D. for that!
I guaranfuckintee you, if the world went the way you think you want it, you'd realize how astray your philosophy is with a quickness!
Setting money back for the future doesn't work if you get a major illness or injury when you're 20. Medical costs in general are too unpredictable to plan for. Better to have a group system.
This whole thread needs to be split...it's off on many tangents...as for yours:
That's why you buy property. Whether it's real estate or gold or jewels (or a 401 these days)...it's a tangible asset for you to pay for your future.
You pay for yours.
I pay for miine.
Prof pays for his.
etc.
Hell, retirement is a modern convenience.
Fuck you, it's just starting to resemble a real OTC thread.
You go tell all those old people how much more free they would be without their medicare. I'll wait.
Just recently I was among thousands of people over 50 and there was no need to tell them anything. They were speaking their minds against your worship.
Today I was at an event where +100 older Americans, were standing for freedom and honoring two men they never met. What was interesting is that several old people called a few local business and they got together and hired several limo-busses to ferry any old person who wanted to go.
Is was good and it showed great patriotism. People here do not want what you offer, that is very clear. The things than can come out of a little old lady's mouth can be surprisingly blunt.
How does this rambling relate to Medicare?
I'm sorry, did you say something?
Actually, yes.
Personal responsibility sucks.
AND unfortunately personal responsibility is the foundation of freedom.Actually, yes.
Personal responsibility sucks.
That will give me much more freedom not to have to worry about that any more.
I'm going to take personal responsibility by getting the public option. That will give me much more freedom not to have to worry about that any more.
