They can't do SHIT for themselves.

2. Yeah, everyone's just laying around waiting to turn 65 so they can live on meager fixed incomes
And have all those fun, subsidized medical procedures.

3. His statements make zero sense. My family has taken care
Edited on Fri Sep-02-11 05:29 PM by lob1
of me when I was sick. But I don't want my family giving me a lung transplant or re-attaching my detached retina. He's basically saying we should all shut up and die. I hope this fucker crashes into a brick wall going about 90 mph, and the ambulance takes him home to his family to get treatment.

4. With Republicans like Rubio, Obama will get reelected in a landslide ...
even if the unemployment remains high.

I'm sure Rubio would love to see me struggling to find a job at my age of 65 and slaving away at some low wage so some rich bastard can live in a luxurious mansion and own four cars and five 50" LCD TVs and a 42" LCD in his bathroom for when he takes a shit.

He would probably also be happy if I had to use what little savings I have to replace my bad hip and pay for the medications that I take to relieve the pain caused by my degenerative disk condition. Of course, when I finally developed a life threatening heath problem I would not have the funds to treat it and would have to simply die. But that's OK because then my rich employer could replace me with a far healthier young employee who would be far more productive than I am.

He dreams of a United States of the corporations, by the corporations and for the corporations. His dreams are rapidly becoming the truth.

The problem I have is that when I vote for a Democrat to represent me, they all too often fail to keep their promises and instead sell out to those big corporations in order to guarantee their reelection and to insure a long profitable time in office followed by a life of luxury working as a well paid lobbyist and to finally retire on a great pension.

My grandchildren will grow up in a modern feudal society with an upper nobility composed of corporate kings, lords, and they will be merely peasants.

It's great to be filthy rich in America but eventually the serfs will rise up. Who knows, we may see a restoration of the guillotine.
