Re: You can keep your Medicare, I'll keep my money.

And none of us liberals pay taxes. And liberals don't actually have higher average income than conservatives. And Blue states don't actually pay more in federal tax dollars- both aggregate and per capita- than red states. And red states don't actually take in more federal dollars than they spend. And blue states don't actually give more money to the federal government than they get back. And rural, conservative areas don't actually cost more per capita for government services than urban/suburban areas.

I'm quite sick of the conservatives whining about the government taking away their hard earned money when they are the biggest welfare queens around.

You know what? I'd rather pay an extra $4-5k a year to the government in taxes for a single payer health care system than $8-10k to a private health insurance company? And you?
