It would be downright un-American if we didn't trample the elderly to make the rich richer. Isn't that what citizens are for? Never mind that the elderly have paid taxes of all kinds their entire lives, taxes that provided public education, roads, police and fire department services, the massive military money hole, and numerous other benefits that allowed every middle and working class person to live to adulthood with marketable skills like reading and writing. But what the heck, those elderly aren't doing anything for the rich or working class heroes now, so it's time to get rid of their medical care. Those hardworking Americans need their booze and skidoos and other "I'm-a-real-American" toys, and the rich need all the money they see.
