Omigod, I was that wrong. I gave Johnny a strong rep for that post. I am sorry but I won't take it back. I may ask you for permission before I do it for anybody again, though.

Extra taxes for socialized medicine? Just wondering and some of the left people might not like me saying that.

They are repeating Glenn Beck show tonight on FOX so you can watch it now if you missed it earlier.
I watched it both times and the second time was better than the first. I wonder which of the two parts they will rerun tomorrow.

I had worked that many years when I was 53. I haven't stopped working and paying Social Security yet and am 76. Of course, I collect a bit more than I pay but I pay double since I am self-employed. I guess that makes me about 63 years working.

And you weren't one of the group making the comments about liberals and welfare recipients being one and the same!

I could just do it like the democrats want, where I get on welfare and have the wealthy pay for everything I have, but I have a strong sense of dignity.

Ditto.

I see them in line at the grocery stores. They buy king crab legs and ribeye steaks with bridge cards (food stamps). I can't afford that stuff because I work for a living.

So you have earned your right to *****.

You have paid more into the SS system then most of those 45% of American losers who have never paid a damn dime into the tax base let alone SS or medicare.

You are the perfect example of a hard working American who I will gladly work harder for and pay more taxes because you EARNED your share like my parents did.

Now if we can just find a way to get all those lazy asses to pay their fair share instead of sucking off the rest of us we will be good.

The food stamp business is now at a record amount, more people are receiving Obama Stamps then ever in our history.

Bet most of them voting for the thief in charge of losers.
