Why does it piss you off? Why should the not use it? The government takes your taxes and you can't do much about it, so its only fair that you can use the government services as much as they let you.
Lets say person X wants to have a private bus system, would you call him a hypocrite because he rides public buses as well? I can except and live within a system and still prefer a different system.
- TallGuyShort 10y agoI didn't say they shouldn't use it - I'm saying pro-Medicare shouldn't be part of their political dialogue if they're opposed to Obamacare on different principles. I've heard a lot of folks who think Medicare should expand argue against Obamacare on the premise that anything but a free market is morally wrong in that case. It's just a case of "this thing that benefits you is morally wrong, but this virtually identical thing that benefits me should grow because it benefits me". By all means use it if you qualify and paid your taxes, but don't be a hypocrite when it comes time to campaign or vote.
