You're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you. So what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot four Politicians.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need! Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That’s great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They’re all covered.

As an added bonus, your kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It’s the same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to go into a home.

And you can get rid of 4 useless politicians while you are at it.

Plus, and because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.


Is this a great country or what?

Well, so as not to disappoint, I'll start. You can also spend the rest of your declining years trying to avoid gang rape in the washroom.

Somehow I doubt that most 65+ inmates have much of a problem with gang rape. Besides, I would suspect that if you got in for offing a few politicians you'd probably be cheered by the inmates.

That's an improvement, gangrape included, over your party's position, Aizle.

If you need Medicaid to assist in the cost of your full-time elderly care, you MUST cede all assets held within the last 5 years to the US Government. They will take them from anyone you have sold them to, even if the sale was in good faith. This process makes you legally liable for reimbursing any third-party so affected.

On 31 December 2012 at 11:59:59 PM, the Federal maximum transferable estate drops to $1,000,000.00. All assets, holding, and wealth beyond that will be taxed at 99% (it reverts to the FDR era rules).

So, yeah ...

You may have thought it was a joke, but I have watched friends and their families lose everything to policies your party put in place (earlier) and/or altered (as is the case of both of these) since Obama went into office. You guys said there was no rationing of care in the ACA, yet ...

You'd better in a place to provide all of your own terminal, palliative, or elderly care, or Uncle Sam gets all of your life work, and those changes went into effect immediately.
