from those "free programs", Medicare, Social Security, etc., ignoring the FACT that most people have being paying into those programs for years. There was nothing free about them. People have paid into them, and they are entitled to receive the benefit from them.

They are also upset that we are paying for Medicaid, food stamps, etc. for the poor in this country. It would be refreshing if someone from the illustrious press would ask these jackasses should the poor not be given healthcare or food assistance?

What is ALWAYS left unsaid, why aren't taxes on the wealthiest Americans increased?
Why not raise the CAP on social security?

How f**ked up and immoral can a political party which prides itself on "christian values?
