You might not be so quick to throw around the "stupidty" label once you do.

Allydriver, did i insult your intelligence? (directly)
Is that the best you can conjure up?
Anyway, stick to the subject. These people could not have paid into the plan. Here's how i can prove it.
Medicare started in the late 1960's and early 1970's right?
Okay, so the first people to enter the program basically got a completely free ride, because they were never taxed from the start of the program. The government printed a ton of money to initially fund it and then began to tax individuals afterward. (Please say the next sentence in a sarcastic Homer Simpson voice starting now>) Oh maybe i could amuse you with some story about the Social Security Fairy dropping large amounts of money underneath FDR's bed one night, but that would not be fact. Or perhaps i can entertain you with the same retarded idea of the Medicare Fairy dropping money off under LBJ's bed so he could fund this dumb socialist program.
Okay, now let's deal with anyone over the age of 65 now, that is on the medicare program.
They would have (assuming) they actually worked would have only paid about 45 years into the plan. This again is a big assumption considering a lot of people retired earlier than 65, that now collect benefits.
Ok, what if a person who is now 80 is on the plan, they would have paid since they were in their 40's right? I'd like to add women make up the largest gender of medicare covered individuals. My assumption is very generous, because due to our nations history of not gainfully employing most women during the 1950'-1960's I find it ironic these now elderly leaches are the main individuals complaining about government sponsored health programs that benefit them on the back of younger male tax payers (just a fact). I find this a bit ironic. Don't you?
Okay, so i digress, but back to my point. I've been paying for medicare since i was freaking 16 years old when i took my first job and I'm not going to see a dime, because of you greedy leaching a@@ho** both male and female that have not payed your fair share. You cost much more than you ever put in!!!
I'm sick of it! I'm sick of the stupidity from these loud mouth tards on the nightly news. If you're getting any sort of handout shut the hell up and go back under the government funded rock that you crawled.
THE GOVERNMENT AND FELLOW TAX PAYERS DON"T OWE YOU A DAM THING! YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO SPECIAL PRIVILEGES AT THE EXPENSE OF OTHER TAX PAYERS, BECAUSE YOU WERE TO INEPT TO EITHER SAVE OR SPEND RESPONSIBLY IN YOUR YOUNGER YEARS!
IF A LARGER PORTION OF THE OLDER INDIVIDUALS HAD MORE RESPECT FOR THE HANDOUTs THEY WERE GETTING I WOULDN'T"T BE SO TOUGH ON THEM! THOSE OF YOU WHO DO I SALUTE YOU BUT UNDERSTAND IT IS NOT A RIGHT FOR YOU TO RECEIVE A GOVERNMENT SPONSORED ANNUITY (SOCIAL SECURITY) or GOVERNMENT SPONSORED HEALTH COVERAGE (Medicare).
Anyway let's say you worked for the last 30 years and made an average salary of 40k during that entire period
You would have been taxed on less than 1% for medicare on that 40k each year for the last 30 years which would have amounted to 400 bucks a year or 12,000 dollars that you actually paid into the system. YOU GET MY POINT! YOU NOW COST US TAX PAYERS 30,000 to 50,000 a year to house and feed pills!!! YOU DIDN"T PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE!!! SO SHUT IT!
