Nothing wrong with continuing one's education.

"I’m gonna work just enough part-time to pay bills, collect my early SS, and minimize whatever taxes I have."

Yep, I was about to get back into the workplace if Romney won, but now will likely sign up for early SS and move to a more "sustainable", lower tax location.

Envy is not the same thing as desire, of course.

Conservatives do not damn desire.

Oh, he’ll pay just fine, he thinks. Man I bet he dodges whatever taxes he can as well.

Why doesn’t he share his Federal gold plated health care? When he does... THAT is when I will believe he has put his own skin into Obamacare.

Ya can't beat the system unless you can fully understand it.

There is certainly nothing wrong with intellectual inquiry.
