Ah yes, the nursing homes, it is the goverment's job to jump in and take care of everyone. Give us our entitlements, just make sure you tax the other guy for it. Just make sure that one particular person with a million dollars ( or close to it ) in assets doesn't have to pay for it via property taxes. After all, a million dollars isn't what it used to be. Add new taxes because we all know what a great job government does, they deserve to be rewarded. We are all entitled to an easier life, and the state had better provide it. It being free care and taxes only for the other guy. Yeah that'll work.
