It's amazing that so many fail to see that the ones who paid into SS all their lives are not the ones who "voted gimme all their lives". Those would be welfare recipients and recipients of benefits from other programs they never paid into. But it's just so much easier (and cowardly) to make SS the political whipping boy.
Carry on.

my generation will pay into the system our entire working lives, but SS will be gone when it’s our turn to collect. All we will have is your debt. You must be one of the baby boomers and feel entitled to retire on back.
Self-centered is when you want to make others pay the price for what you want. That is you. you want your retirement, and you don’t care if you bankrupt the country to get it. Your generation blew SS’s savings.
I want to take the pinch now, not twenty years from now when today’s children will have to pay for what you want. So which of us is being self-centered?
