25. They aren't grandfathered into anything! That should be made
real clear to them! I've been saying that ever since I heard about the Ryan voucher crap. Too many old people voted teabagger and expect to sit back and watch everyone else's benefits cut, while they keep theirs.

Not that I want to see retired people lose anything. I just think it's the only way to make them wise up, stop believing everything they are taught by FOX "News" and demand some reforms to the real problems.

I'm thinking shirts that say, "Medicare: Everyone Gets It Or Nobody Gets It!" If they think they can take money out of my check for some maybe phony voucher some day, while my neighbor that's a couple years older gets real medicare, that's when the shit hits the fan!

We make them know that if there are going to be cuts in social security and medicare, they get cut too!
