I'm glad the OFA ad mentioned earned benefits instead of calling them entitlements.

Since I was a teen ager working on our family farm I've paid social security and medicare insurance every paycheck.

To me it is not an entitlement of the kind the GOP would have you think - some give away to freeloaders.

No, it is an entitlement I am entitled to because I have paid for it for over 30 years. So don't tell me you want to give me a voucher Paul Ryan. Give me what I agreed to pay for for over 30 years.

I am not a millionaire like you Paul, or Romney. I live frugally from paycheck to paycheck. I can't afford a doctor's visit. If something happens I'll be in the ER and medicaid will end up paying for the visit.

Ryan and Romney suck. Don't vote for them.
