Why you don't understand is government lies. Medicare and social security started out as not means tested yet now they are. The gov takes on step with limits but those limits disappear over time. I think some liberals worship the government that is how they help people not by volunteering their time and money preferring the gov force all to pay. See they know what is best for the use of other peoples money or so they think

Why do so many feel the need to dictate their 1950 moral BS on others. The right loves to yap about how they are so set against Big Government and it's intrusion-except when it's snoopin in everyone's bedrooms, or trying to force their Ward Cleaver morals on the world-then big government is just fine.
Bedroom morals are a big to do, but boardroom morals don't concern them. Odd bunch
." snoopin in everyone's bedrooms "...

???????

Nice use of liberal talking points, however I doubt doctors perform abortions in bedrooms or wedding are performed in bedrooms,

Because every single "common sense" proposal punishes the law abiding while doing absolutely nothing to keep firearms out of the hands of the lawless.

That's why. Couple that with the stated goal of the gun control groups to eventually ban and then confiscate all firearms in civilian hands, a person who's paying attention can figure it out.

Yup, every other single wide had a Trump banner in front. If only they interviewed those folks, I bet they would generate plenty of brain pearls for a comedy and a horror movie. I've talked to.some, it was surreal, perrenial ignorance wrapped into gullible retardation and sprinkled with bigotry and masochism, plenty to be proud of.

you seem to feel YOUR vote should count for more than someone living in a trailer house.

Sorry, it doesn't work that way .
