The very same flawed logic used by right-wing nutballs when they bitch & moan about passing an affordable healthcare bill WHILE they collect Social Security & Medicare benefits.
So why do I have to pay in to SS & Medicare? I'm not getting EITHER one of those. Probably some old bag with a bad hip in Ohio somewhere is reaping the rewards of MY hard work & money. I don't want to hear her whining about "socialism" when she (or anyone else) is actively reaping the benefits of the work of others.

I support some kind of help to the poor which is why I'm fine with medicare. I support the elderly because they spent their lives working their asses off mostly, and you'll be getting the same benefits when you're old, if you have a real job. Adding a health care bill that nobody understands+another trillion dollars, is pure overkill. There's no hypocrisy or double standards here, just you ranting on about the right.
