#1 One thing the Left can't do is prioritize where to expend what resources they already collect. Living within one's means is like holy water to blood sucking vampires.

#2 I am not wealthy but I already pay taxes on my Social Security. Medicare is deducted from Social Security but I don't get to deduct Medicare from Social Security when filing my tax return so I am already paying taxes on Medicare. With Slow Joe's definition of wealthy I may very well be taxed into poverty.

#3 I don’t like the proposal, but it was coherent. I am sure the administration is not out of stupid ideas.

#4 So Medicare is like the public schools: You will be taxed for it whether you use it or not, no matter how wasteful and inefficient it is. It's a government monopoly on a business in which the government has no legitimate business. There is no competition and no accountability, just a bunch of anonymous bureaucrats making decisions about your health and putting a gun to your head to make sure you pay.
