All of them get a government check - EXCEPT Romney...
That's not criteria that I concern myself with. Many decent people with ideologies similar to mine get government checks. There are some solid Republicans who draw Social Security even though they may wish that the money was never confiscated from them in the first place, freeing them to invest the seized money privately. McCain himself, would be drawing a government check because of his 21 years of service in the Navy.
It's what your character is all about, not whether you draw a check from the government, which is important to me. But, maybe not to you. Tell me, when you are eligible for Social Security, will you refuse it?
