Someone or a two income family making 50-70k, is NOT in the top 5% of tax payers.
The president's drugs for elders is a PROPOSAL and part of a plan that will begin to dismantle and privatize Social Security. NO ONE IS NOW PAYHING FOR PERSCRIPTION DRUGS FOR THE ELDERLY!
Anyone earning 1/2 a million a year, belongs to the upper middle class and is far removed from those with a gross income of 50-70k, who DO get full benefits, which are phased out, the higher one's income.
You are NOT arguing with facts, you are making things up, and you are making yourself look foolish, in the bargain.
You're really off the deep end. Calm down,use facts, don't accuse others of wanting things they don't, and stop childishly inventing things to make your points. Better still, go talk to some REAL black Conservatives here, like trublackman, who know what they're talking about, unlike you, and who don't use race or class,nor phony made up garbages, to debate.

" Census figures say the top 5 percent collected 21 percent of all personal income in 2001, up from 20.3 percent in 1993. Measured in constant 2001 dollars, however, a family needed more than $164,104 to be counted among the top 5 percent in 2001, while anything above $136,539 would have qualified in 1993." sorry I am off 15-20 grand. So eat this story up.
This proposal is taking money because Medicare in general is paid by every taxpayer. Although the Medicare cost may not go up it still is a cost that people have to pay. How about we just get rid of this program in general. Makes sense to me.
Now I think you owe me an apology as you where off the deep end and thanks for saying that someone else is a real black conservative because being a real black conservative means agreeing with you hook line and sinker.
