The great scam. You can retire and live a decent life, just so long as you don't plan on growing old and needing medical care.

Oh, that's part of retirement? Weird how Noone thought of that problem this whole time.

Oh they thought about it. Yeah. Definitely. They absolutely thought about how much money they could make off of our nations sick and elderly.

And if they can't pay? Fuck em! Let em die!

Their words, not mine.

I think people forget the Republicans had a portion of the health care plan back in the Romney days that was just:
Body collection services for when people died on the streets.

They have been building up to not giving a shit about anyone else but the rich for some time now. We should stop caring about them as the masses and stop supplementing their lifestyle.

Look you just need to work your ass off every single day. And yes that means even if you're sick. Don't care or worry about having any hobbies or activities that are worth while. For you may be able to spent once per two weeks on it. Anyway, Once you're around 80 THEN you're supposed to do the things you like, alright?! Is that so unreasonable??

P.S. Oh the thing you love to do requires you to be flexible and active? Well why didn't you do that when you were young?
