So let's see if I have this straight...


Liberals are upset that tea party activists who had money involutarily taken from thier paychecks to pay for Medicare receive the benefits they paid for?


On the other hand, it's OK that Obamacare steals money from the Medicare system these people were forced to pay into for so long?

No it is not. In insurance plans some get back more plus interest, some die before ever collecting one red cent.

Except the insurance premiums are subsidized for some. That makes it welfare.

This moronic thread is in no way a decent argument against the Tea Party. It is however a prime example of the mindset of the far left that seems to believe those that actually paid into the system have no right to receive any benefits from having done so.
