Some jokes illuminate truth

The following is via our Bloomfield correspondent.

So you're a sick senior citizen and the government says there is no nursing home available for you, what do you do?

Our plan gives anyone 65 years or older a gun and 4 bullets. You are allowed to shoot any four Congressman of your choice.

Of course, this means you will be sent to prison, where you will get three meals a day, a roof over your head, central heating, air conditioning and all the health care you need! Need new teeth? No problem. Need glasses? That's great. Need a new hip, knees, kidney, lungs or heart? They're all covered. And, as an added bonus, your kids and gran kids can come and visit you as often as they do now.

And who will be paying for all of this? It's the same government that just told you that you they cannot afford for you to receive treatment or to go into a healthcare home.

Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore.

Is this a great country or what?
