What the hell do you think Medicare is? SOCIAL SECURITY.

It's socialism. And I want nothing to do with it. The government takes a
significant portion of my income away from me against my will and gives it
to social security recipients. I have little confidence that I will ever see
any of this money. I want the government to quit taking my money and giving
it to someone else, and let me decide what to do with it.

Uh, the Republicans just gave $700 billion to Henry Paulson. In 2004, at
the request of the major Wall Street investment houses, including
Goldman Sachs, then headed by Paulson, the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission agreed unanimously to release the major investment houses
from the net capital rule, the requirement that their brokerages hold
reserve capital that limited their leverage and risk exposure.

After an $85,000,000,000 bail out of AIG, the executives of AIG treated
themselves to a week at St Regis Resort in Monarch Beach, California to
the tune of $450,000. Let's see thats already about $2,300 plus $280 for
AIG. Makes the $100 for Bear Sterns seem like chump change. That's about
$2,700 of American tax dollars that you are guaranteed to never see.

Putting the tax brackets back to where they were in the 90's, isn't
socialism, it's regulation. You don't like regulation? That's what has
gotten us into this situation.

If McCain wins, you won't have to worry about the government taking your
money. You'll never see it.

Do yourself a favor and look at "The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of
Disaster Capitalism" by Naomi Klein.
