Meyerson on TAP

Announcing the McConnell-McCarthy League of Patriotic Seniors!

You can oppose the socialist IRA by paying more than its Malicious
Marxist cap on insulin and other co-pays!

To Our Patriotic Seniors:

Are you frustrated by the Democrats' fake-news claims to be reducing
your hard-earned out-of-pocket expenses when you

**know**it's just one more way to bring us closer to

**Communism** and

**Collective Farms?**

Well, here's a way

**YOU can fight back!**

The

**so-called** Inflation Reduction Act, which the Democrats plan to ram
through the House tomorrow, claims to reduce the monthly cost of insulin
co-pays for Medicare recipients to $35. Then, it has the gall to also
say it'll limit your overall medication co-pays to $2000 a year.

Don't fall for it! Don't be a

**Sucker for Socialism!**

How can

**YOU** show you won't go along with these

**Socialistic Scams?**

For a true

**Patriotic Senior**, that question has an easy answer:

Don't limit your support for our market system to those
Democrat-devised limits! Pay the full freight!

Pay

**more** than the $35 a month for your insulin!

**More** than the $2000 a year for all your meds! Show you won't be
swayed from showing your support for the only true-value economic
system-

**capitalism**-by these

**Bolshevik Baubles** the Democrats are dangling before you!

Sign this pledge:

I, [your name here], promise to be a

**Patriotic Senior!**I won't support this

**Socialist Scheme!** I promise to pay the

**True Price** (as determined by the hardworking pharmaceutical
industry) on Insulin and All My Meds!

And for every dollar you pay that exceeds this

**Dastardly Democrat** price-fixing, that very same pharmaceutical
industry has pledged to match that dollar with an equivalent donation
(minus shipping and other expenses) to the

**Republican House and Senate campaign committees.**

And if

**you** match your payment in excess of the Democrats' fixed prices
with an equivalent

**donation of your own** to the

**Republican campaign committees**, the pharmaceutical industry has
pledged to match your donation (minus anticipatory carrier interest for
pharmaceutical executives subject to the common cold) to those
committees as well!

And, as a reward for

**Your Support**, members of

**Patriotic Seniors**will receive bumper stickers (not affixable to
electric cars) reading

**I'M NO SOCIALIST SAP! I PAY PHARMA'S PRICE!**

Your congressional campaign committees will send you these stickers

**free of charge** (minus printing, postage, sorting, delivery, and
acknowledgment-of-receipt fees, payable in advance).
