At the very heart of any good socialist is the realization that old people are not sustainable from a societal point of view. They’ve lived the good life, they contributed to the overall good of society, and now it’s time to step aside.
I, Albert, have seen the light. My liberal brothers and sisters have shown me the error of my ways. While listening to the grand conservative himself, Rush Limbaugh, I heard a sniveling old woman talk about her high school son who’s teacher told them that old people need to step out of the way. She said that the teacher added, “the world will be better without them.”
Can you imaging that this old lady could even argue with that? I, Albert, think that the authorities should set an age at which time all support is pulled from an older person. Perhaps it’s 70 years old. Perhaps it should be 75. At some point, we need to cut them loose and let them die.
Now, if their misguided children or grandchildren should desire to support them, that’s their prerogative, but society at large should not be saddled with the health and monetary concerns of an old person who is no longer contributing to society.
I, Albert, thank the Good Lord for allowing me to see the light!
Any thoughts out there?
Yours, Albert
