Typical teabagger: Taking SS and Medicare benefits while protesting health care reform

[prolesunited]

"Why should we pay for health care for those who didn't work for it?" Frank Bauer said. "Illegals and single mothers with men at home who won't get a job."

Though the Cedar Lake retiree said he accepts Social Security and Medicare benefits, it's not the same "because we didn't ask for it -- we were forcedto participate," Bauer said.

Bauer said he learned of the Thursday protest from Northwest Indiana Patriots, a group founded earlier this year in Valparaiso as the Porter County Tea Party.

2. Welfare Queen. Typical member of the Party of Death. They all are either

Welfare Queens living off of the government or Deadbeat Dads refusing to pay their obligations to be members of society.

10. I wonder how many of the "teabaggers" are retired from GM

and how many of them voted for the Repukes ... who were bound and determined to destroy the UAW and the retirement system for the GM employees ...

4. Single mothers with men at home? Doesn't the 2 cancel each other out?

8. Um no, teabagger, you can grab a pair of scissors

And cut up the cards and the checks.

Or just return them to the sender. You're not "forced" to use the benefits or cash the checks.

11. these assholes always have some legal loophole which allows them to be hypocrites

without ever actually being tagged as such ...

"We were forced to participate!"

12. Everyone I know on Social Security and Medicare had to apply for it

The government doesn't just start sending anyone money and paying their medical bills out of the blue without making application.

These people are liars.
