Splitting Generations GOP Style

The GOP is good at dividing and fracturing things. The most vile meme they are using in the back rooms is telling the children and grandchildren of seniors is that they are stealing your money. The push against Social Security and Medicare is to label seniors as slackers and lazy bums taking their kids money who aren't making it. Meanwhile seniors are living in luxury on their dime like "welfare queens" with cadillacs and caviar at every meal.

The GOP calls these programs welfare programs. They call them "entitlements" that seniors have actually paid for. They say the same things about veteran's benefits. The GOP are nothing but a bunch of bastards. GOP supporters think they should get these benefits but not anyone else. It is the height of hypocrisy.
