Why Do Republicans Want to Destroy Medicare?
Q. Why Do Republicans Want to Destroy Medicare?
A. …because they’re raving Fascists.
Heritage Foundation are wanton liars and should be sent to jail for the harm they’ve caused over the past couple decades with their propaganda and disinformation.
Koch is fascism and global tyranny.
+Stikibits That’s why I now refer to this punks who control the now Dead Republican Party as the Nationalist Fascist Puritan Party or Puritans for short. people don’t notice that they want us to become a real life The Hunger Games world.
Republicans want to destroy all avenues of economic mobility.

Wow Moffitt is really selling it. I’m not buying what he’s selling. I agree with Thom.
Heritage = K0CH
K0CH ideology = Destroy all government agencies and sell off assets to the highest bidders.
His only issue is that it is a GOVERNMENT PROGRAM.
He wants to destroy GOVERNMENT.
Thom you are to nice to these traitors. This guy like many of your guests is condescending and a liar.
Sorry Thom but I cannot listen to these moronic anti government Bircher Randians.
And this guy is an MD and appears not to understand what the purpose of insurance is? What a dismal guest.
Oh man, you wrecked him! I’m in my twenties and unfortunately I have never seen this sort journalistic questioning on TV before. I’m guessing there were honest and awesome journalists in the past.
I say let em destroy medicare! I dare them to destroy it!
I love how they call programs they paid for are entitlements as if its a dirty word. I buy car insurance I am ENTITLED to get paid when and if accident happens. The entire constitution Americans hold up as if it has the power of mount Olympus, is all about people being born entitled to certain rights and privileges. So how dare you say I am entitled to a speedy trial , entitlements are evil don’t you know? Insurance is not a pay as you go thing its a saving account yes but its a pooled account. Insurance companies routinely get rich selling policies yet they argue government that does not go out and play risky games with those accounts is not capable of running it? All social programs are a form of insurance and pooling of resources. Even infrastructure programs are insurance against being without ability to travel get water etc.
This arrogant man talking to Thom like he is a child. If I lied to my kid the way this guy lies to Thom my daughter would tear me a new one for the crappy math. If I have a car crash and right off my car how is that different.
Yeah! Seriously, Why do Republicans beat their wives, Bob?
Listening to this jerk is a total waste of time.
That Moffit guy is a fast talker and totally full of it. We need a national health program.
Moffit’s argument is dumb and he’s a PHD??? Everyone paying into medicare takes care of the elderly people. As medical costs go up, over time, so do those who pay into the system. Do you think my grandparents paid what working people are paying today? Hell no.. This guy’s an idiot..
+Robert Smith Moffit’s is also a corporatist.. Because of that, he has tunnel vision..
+Leesa Michaels Yeah, that comes across as real obvious, Leesa..
Dont like this jerk! bye bye
