And in this corner…30 million retirees!

http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articl…

If you’re a senior citizen and make less than $50,000 a year, Barack Obama has a deal for you: the rest of your life free of federal income tax.

Sounds appealing, right?

If we look at two people, each making $49,999, which one should get a sizeable government subsidy?

Why, the one who’s already living off of welfare, and has taxpayer supplied healthcare, subsidized transportation, “senior centers”, discounted meals at restaurants, etc., of course!

The bad thing about the gerontocracy is that they vote.

The worse thing is that there’s more and more of them every day.

The worst thing is that they’re confrontational and thieving.

…but, on the bright side, most of them have glass jaws.

    oh man, all kinds of bad incentives in that kind of plan. I best stop saving now, I won’t need it! Don’t want that promotion either, can’t go over the threshold.

    we’re gonna be a nation of beggars

    Glass jaws perhaps.

    But many have hips of (stainless)steel!

    It’s like fighting zombies. They’re slow-moving and incoherent, but inexorable.
