The benefits of being a Senior Citizen

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

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

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. And, 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.

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

Is this a great country or what?

All right, that is enough, you just gave away my nursing home retirement plan. Now its gonna get crowded and the health care will go down. Nice going.

Things will never change in Washington until we separate Wall street from it. Goldman Sachs really runs it. If we could confiscate monies from former Secretary's of the Treasury we'd be able to give everybody in this country a million dollars and still have money left over.

This was posted in "Just for Fun" and might have been meant "tongue in cheek".

However, the responses have strayed too deeply into political so the thread will likely be moved to the political forum if this trend continues.

Dear Moderator, thanks for keeping us honest! (and "on track"!) I know it's not always an easy job.

Hey, keep this fun and light.

Now I have to find another retirement plan since my first one is now public knowledge.

Thanks, Skip2MySue, way to keep a secret.

Double bonus is that you will always be home.

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.
