definition for: #33Seniors

This hashtag isn’t used any more. For those interested in history, it came about after President Obama gave a speech on April 12 or 13, 2011. In it, he said, “They [Republicans] want to give people like me a two hundred thousand dollar tax cut that’s paid for by asking thirty three seniors to each pay six thousand dollars more in health costs? That’s not right, and it’s not going to happen as long as I’m President.” For a while after that, tweets about the safety net might use #33seniors.
