Allow me to be Blunt, Roy; Republicans want you to Work until you Die

The Congressional Budget Office re-evaluation of the PPACA (Obamacare) has revealed to a larger audience something I've known for a while.

Republicans want you to work right up until you die. They'd actually like you to die on the job before you retire because then they can steal all the money you've contributed into your Pension, Social Security and Medicare.

"And I think that raising the retirement age... and eventually getting the retirement age to 70 is a step that needs to be taken." - Speaker John Boehner in 2010.

Yesterday, Republican Roy Blunt of Missouri was on Faux Sunday Morning complaining that Obamacare was going to "discourage people from working" while trying to push the Republican lie.

Hey, were you looking forward to slowing down and enjoying time with your wife? Or raising your children or grandchildren? Or moving from frigid Chicago to Fort Lauderdale because your knees, back and lungs can't take the cold? Or traveling to the land your grandparents left to come to America? Well, too bad if Republicans get their way they'll make sure you die at work.

This is one reason the Republicans hate Unions. Unions allowed Americans to retire and live a long time not working. And this is why the CBO report about Obamacare allowing Americans to be able to not die at work angered Republicans.

No, you're not supposed to retire when you're 55. You sound to me like you are totally capable of still working. People are retiring now at 50 and 55 and so forth when they are still capable of working. According to the tables at 55, you've got 22 years left... - Rush Limpbaugh, (Crooks and Liars)

Anything which allows Americans the ability to not work is hateful to Republicans because they represent Corporations and the very Rich. Republicans and their Owners see the American worker as nothing more than an expensive cog in the gears of Industry or War.

This is why no Conservative or Republican Alternative to Obamacare has every been offered. The Republican Healthcare alternative remains Don't Get Sick and if you do, Die Quickly.

Republicans don't want retired people around. They want you to work hard throughout your productive years after which they'll discard you when you get injured, sick or old.

Republicans want to Work you to Death.

Update:
Amanda Marcotte the Pandagon highlights how conservative Ross Douthat has tried to massage the Republican CBO lie by claiming that working yourself to death is for your own good, "people we should want to be attached to the workforce, for their own long-term good and the good of the economy as well.” He didn’t tell us who that was, but we suspect if someone told Douthat himself to shovel coal 50 hours a week for his own long-term good and the good of the economy, he would swiftly preclude himself.
