Entitlement Mentality

Freepers are super pissed that Obama might raise Medicare premiums, despite being against Medicare. Their attempts to rationalize this gets pretty hilariously twisted, and really angry when they're challenged:

glock rocks blames Obama for his late wife's cancer:

My wife died of cancer and I make more than 85.

F’n communist bastards... each and everyone of the communist bottom feeding community agitator weathermen traitor terrorists. F’em.

C210N has an expansive version of class warfare:

I'd call it a big Boost. In building Class Warfare.

People who paid in should collect, as promised. Period.

dalereed only wants what he paid in:

Screw you!!!

We paid our money into the system and expect to get every cent back out as the law WAS WRITTEN, not as some socialist wants to change it!

Also, dalereed plans on getting out way more than he paid in:

I got back at them in 1978, i put all the Corp assets in a dummy company and never took another pay check, I took all compensation as rent and never paid in another cent into Social Security.

I hope I live to be 100 and still collect it!!!!

GGpaX4DumpedTea wants draconian measures until he gets paid!

50 years ago, when I started paying into FICA, as well as my employers did. Give it all to me then and let me have it as the proceeds of what that investment would have produced. It was not a promise. It was money stolen by the Govt Corporation, and it needs to be paid back. Until it is, no one in the Executive, Legislative or Judicial branch of Govt should get paid, and all retirement benefits should immedicately cease. Just Fix It, Dammit! Then make these ba$tards who created all this mess have to live withing the system they created.

Gator113 is sounding quite a bit like a bleeding heart:

Socialism is bad enough. folks generally understand that socialism is bad. they are usually surprised though when they realize that they are part of the problem.

I see. So in your mind, a 70 year old widow, who worked most of her life and was forced to pay into SS.... and now survives on her small monthly check, is just another socialist bitch who is stealing from the future of your children.

I believe that God created idiots to give the rest of us something to laugh at and right now, I am laughing at you.

Lancey Howard's breezy fatalism allows all imorality:

Look, I understand your attitude and your reasoning, and I can’t really disagree with you. Your problem is, you act as if there’s hope.

America is dead and gone. The final nail in the coffin was the 2008 election of an African communist as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. America had a great run. Remember it fondly for what it was, but there’s no point hanging onto the past.

The United States of America is now little more than a huge land mass populated by moochers, cretins, ingrates, and parasites who have absolutely no respect for the military and who vote for big government to confiscate money from their neighbors so that it may be “redistributed” to them in exchange for their votes. It is not an America worth defending anymore. That America no longer exists.

The parasites outnumber the hosts now, and there’s no going back. America is dead. The Democrats have won.

Nothing lasts forever (shrug) and there’s no point crying or whining about it. My recommendation to every decent human left out there is to throw some cold water in your face and proceed to ‘Plan B’. Figure out how to grab every government dime you possibly can before the parasites who comprise the Democrat party “base” gobble it all up. Look for angles. Look for refuge. Hide what you have. Get under the radar and game the system. Every man for himself and his family.

usconservative knows FICA is theft.

Who's money was taken away by force of Government? MINE. I consider that STOLEN, much like anyone elses' who's contributed to the system.

Yep, I want MY money back. Not someone elses, MINE. Every penny that was STOLEN from me.

That's not "socialism" ... and you're another one of Obama's class warrior useful idiots if you believe that.

Now have a nice day.

LongWayHome isn't entitled, but he deserves a little something back:

My family business, between my dad & I, have paid millions of dollars in taxes on the city, state & federal level over the years. I must have 1000 lay-a-bouts living off my family, but I’m a socialist cause I might get SS....most of which will be taxed away if I even get it.

catfish1957 knows government disaster relief is insurance!

I guess you think those folks in West, Texas are slugs for making insurance claims too huh? Like I said, I can't help that you can't read.

Don't forget punk...... Karma can be a mean bitch.
