The liberal solution is to put them to work when they should be enjoying their last years. No doubt chicofaraby would have no problem seeing his parents slaving in a cotton field. From 1865 till today, Democrats haven't changed a whit.

It would certainly eliminate some of the burden. I guess the same could be done with those too infirm to work off their taxes as well. Then the property could be confiscated and sold on the open market. Of course the municipality would have to take a hefty handling fee and taxes and if there's anything left after the sale, those remaining family members would have to pay income tax on top of everything else. Or maybe they could just go to work for the govt. at minimum wage... wait! Better yet, let the govt. nationalize all industry and we can all work for our existence at the hands of a bureaucratic task master...

What about the infirm? What about the sick? I thought liberals were supposed to CARE about people like this. And, to prove I'm a conservative, I won't call you any names.
