No card-carrying tea partier would ever take money from Social Security either. Pure socialism and the tea party is against that 100%. Why, it would be hypocritical to accept money from that source.

Again Medicare will be forced on me when I'm of that "advanced" age. My personal insurance collapses at the designated "advanced" age and automatically they throw me into the bowels of Medicare.
So, Medicare is your rational to take every person in the U.S.; man, woman child and illegal, and establish a gazillion dollar entitlement for all that we cannot pay for and will devastate our economy?
Spare the nation from your good intentions.
