During this 2016 election I hear Bernie Sanders and “What Difference Does It Make Clinton” talk about income equality. The young will get free college and the working class will get a minimum wage of $15 dollars an hour. So, I ask, what will the senior citizens get?
You see, we have no monetary value any more to the government so we go unrecognized as usual.
All these years we paid into the system, defended this country and worked hard all our lives.
Bernie Sanders is always saying “I’m going to say something radical.” I’m going to say something “radical” and that is I want a senior discount for all senior citizens on everything we buy from gas for our cars to the food we eat. This is my idea of income equality for us. We’ve been played by our government and politicians long enough. The other day I was pumping gas in my car and I said to myself this is insane that I have to pay the same price as working class citizens or the “well off.”
This has been going on for years. We don’t even get a cost of living increase with Obama. When he needed more money for his lousy Obamacare, where did him and his “Dems” go for money? You guessed it. He took 400 million dollars out of our Medicare fund.
My wife and I go to Wingate in West Springfield to see a relative and the majority of these people have Alzheimer’s.
It breaks my heart to see these people asking to go home, which they can’t because our lousy state of Massachusetts takes their homes and everything they own.
You might as well pull their hearts out while you’re at it.
