[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 4202985, member: 7900"] You should stop because you continue to demonstrate your ignorance of how things really were. As was mentioned elsewhere, the poor didn't really have options. They couldn't afford to move to Canada, nor would they want to be in jail. As for veterans getting benefits, many of us didn't have service related injuries, and if many are like me, we can't qualify for VA health benefits. In our case, it is because the wife and I have been responsible and because we make too much money (even in retirement), I'm not eligible for anything but a VA benefit on buying a house. And to be truthful with you, I've seen many a veteran in far worse shape than me that needs VA health care far more than I do, and I'm glad they are getting it. As for health care, my Medicare is taken from my Social Security benefits, and because I want better health advantages, we also pay out of pocket for a Medicare Supplement. And, as for growing up, perhaps you should do a bit as well. [/QUOTE]
