And yet when Congress votes to pay current Veterans the same benefits the McCain got when he was in the Armed Forces, he votes against it. Shame on you John, you ultra rich elitist.

Are we back to this again? He bought his social security payments by paying social security taxes out of every paycheck for decades. It is ridiculous to ask anyone to throw away money that they earned. This is akin to mccain joining the 'meat of the month' club than calling him a jerk for eating his meat because there's people out there who would really like to have a bite of that.
