Now a Democrat because of Bush
el paso times ^ | 01-25-05 | Joe Grossinger

Posted on 01/25/2005 11:54:53 AM PST by FITZ

Now that I have turned 60 years of age, I have decided to become a Democrat.

President Bush is the essence of evil by tinkering with Social Security.

Look, I don't have to pay much into it now, and I don't care how many jobs young people have to work in order to support me in my golden years. I am a Democrat and I deserve it, so let's start telling our kids to work two jobs!

I want my retirement, I want free medical care and I want my prescriptions to be paid for by the young workers. I deserve no less.

I don't want to hear about "free market" unless whatever I want is free. I am an entitled American who deserves the best.

I am a Democrat now and the world owes me a living in the style I would love to become accustomed to.

So, let's just double Social Security payroll taxes in order to take care of our seniors in the lifestyle we have earned and are entitled to.

Problem solved.

So what's the beef? Bush is your guy.

The sad thing is, most democrats will read it and cheer.

With this kind of attitude, why wasn't this guy a Democrat years ago?

To put abortion in pure monetary terms, did the left ever stop to consider that the majority of the 40 million plus who were aborted would now be working and paying into the system, bolstering SS for the soon to retire baby boomers?

Oh, I get it....He's pretending to be a Democrat to skewer the Dems' position. Clever.

It hasn't occurred to them yet that a good majority of the aborted would probably have been raised as democrats, thus putting their electoral numbers over the top.

I don't have many criticisms of FReepers, but I do notice that sarcasm is lost on many of them.

Seems a little tongue-in-cheek to me.

I clicked on the link, the Ivins/birdcage liner letter is good too. Is this a real newspaper?

Hmmmm? Sounds like one of Rush's "illustrating the absurdity".
