[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a reasonably well off Blue State Democrat, meaning that not only do I pay high income taxes but my state is a net payor to the Red States.  So, since Seniors voted for Trump and Republicans, and Republicans want to slash SS and Medicare/Medicaid, lets do it. My reduced taxes mean I win.  Lets give our Seniors what they apparently want.  I will be enjoying another bottle of some overpriced wine. [/quote]

Honestly, this is how I have been feeling even though I know morally and ethically it is wrong.  It's not just seniors but all those "working class whites" of all ages.  If people think "Obamacare" is crap then let's get rid of it, and while we're at it let's roll back the law that Reagan signed that ensures people without insurance have a right to medical treatment in an emergency. And raise the age of SS eligibility to 75.  If you want to be poor and unhealthy and uneducated and live in squalor and have no one help you because government is bad, great.  Let's make that reality happen and see how great you think that is.  Show up at an emergency room bleeding to death with no insurance?  Oh well, you're dead.  I mean, what with personal responsibility and all, surely you can all pick yourselves up by your bootstraps and figure it out, right?  Or, you know, just drop dead at 50 from a lifetime lack of preventative healthcare.  Whatever.[/quote]
