No, seriously this is worse than giving us Sarah Palin

There may possibly a person in America that has cost more tax dollars than John McCain - but I'm at a loss to name them.

As a Lt. JG he crashed a fighter jet, and even in the early 60s those are expensive. No. not in Vietnam, in a training scenario

He stayed in the Navy until he could not continue.

I will not hate those years since he served honorably. It just seems strange that such a "free market" warrior has never been subjected to market forces.

Here is the deal though...

He has never cashed a check in his life that wasn't funded by tax dollars.

Well, his second wife's liquor sales have padded his checking account, but unless he had a part time gig in high school he has been on the Government tit for life.

He will soon embark on a tax funded multi million dollar treatment regime for brain cancer. If his military retirement healthcare is the same as mine, he will pay $6000 out of pocket.

I suspect that as a Senator he will pay $0

So I was so impressed that he could come to DC to vote to take away health care from 22 million Americans.
What a MAVERICK.

I'm so glad that Republican values mean that a 72 year old wealthy man gets free health care while he votes to kill my children.

FUCK HIM AND ALL REPUBLICANS
