Well how about all the Social security checks I've helped pay, even though I'm currently not on social security? do I get to be all mad because you guys are taking my money I'm paying in? I'm sorry. But I'm getting tired of all the "holier than thou" attitude where everyone who uses a social program is some kind of bloodsucking rabble...but you all deserve your cut because you are somehow better. I don't want to sound ungrateful to the military, and if you were drafted like in Vietnam or something thats special, you deserve respect...But we haven't had a draft since Vietnam, so essentially the military was your career choice, same as any other person in this nation, and you were paid off of our tax dollars to render us a service.
You also are missing the point. You act like If you pay for a socialized health care system is money wasted. Every thought that if you pay into the system, you also get the benefit if you become sick? So maybe you would grumble one day about oh it's so much and look at all these bums...but then the next day you break your leg and need to use the very same system.
