We Cannot Afford Congress Free Pensions, Health Care & Aristocratic Lifestyle If ACA Not Affordable

GOPPERS quit giving me this shit we cannot afford anything when you get a free pension and free health care for your self. I simply refuse to hear it. And I will get in your face even if you try. It just makes you furious that someone like Graham says government should not be doing anything of voter. WELL GIVE UP YOUR FUCKIG PENSION AND HEALTH CARE AND WORK FOR FREE.

We have justifiable rage and anger when they say this god damned crap. Thet is all I hear from these stingy greedy pricks.

I find it very interesting that the same people who say the government should not provide healthcare, pensions, or other free things refuse to give up the things the government gives them. For some reason all these rugged individual fiscally conservative Republicans are not refusing their pensions and healthcare. They also are not running to the Treasury to give back money they were given, but did not use to fix up their Washington, D.C. offices. Neither they, or their husbands or wives are going out and getting two or more jobs to make ends meet. They just keep giving themselves raises, and when people complain they say they can barely provide for the families with the "small" ($174,000) congressional salary.
