If they get us, they're not going to want us for long, espedially since they most likely won't be getting Meidare premiums from younger workers.

TFG is a fool.

We have to make sure (especially if we're old) that people around us aren't fooled by him.

Remember, the only old people fools like TFG think deserve medical care are rich fools.

Get it?
