(19,204 posts)Congresscritter is a member of THE death panel. A vote for this abomination is a vote to kill Americans, simple as that. But the wealthy need those tax cuts to keep their offshore bank accounts topped off. Every American has to ask themself, "Where do my loyalties lie? Am I going to be selfish and want healthcare, or do my loyalties lie with the wealthy, so they can have their huge tax cuts that they don't need at all?"
I know where MY loyalties lie! With the wealthy, of course!

There's pineapple grandma, lemon grandma, coconut grandma, pepper grandma, grandma soup, grandma stew, grandma salad, grandma and potatoes, grandma burger, grandma sandwich... That- that's about it.

(9,257 posts)ALL of us (except the goddamned billionaires) are going to NEED Medicare one day if we're not on it now. We cannot afford this, just so Kochs, Mercers, Adelsons and Trumps can have a tax cut.

(21,188 posts)Too bad they will never hear that their benefits will be cut. Remember those tea bag rallies they carried signs, no government health care, hands off my Medicare. Those idiots.

I live in a big retirement region. Most of the really old people that I see are elderly Whites, the very people that vote heavily republican. I say let them suffer through 2018, only then can we have the power to save their asses.
