Article summary - Have more babies so I can get Social Security and Medicare.

Rather than systematic euthanasia enforced on the old by the young, I see enslavement of the young and working in order to hold on to the dwindling dream of the Ponzi scheme.

Article summary - Have more babies so I can get Social Security and Medicare into which I paid my entire working life.

Just thought I'd add that little nugget you seem to have forgotten.

Please understand, I'm not saying social security and medicare are good things. I am saying that it is unfair to expect those who paid into those systems their whole lives to just walk away from that money.

Personally, I'd like to see the money that is SUPPOSED to be in those two programs for those who are still working given to those individuals to invest as they see fit. Of course, we'd have to cut other things to fund social security and medicare for those already on them. I imagine we could do so pretty easily if people of sound mind were given the chance. (Foreign aid, particularly to Islamic and communist nations comes to mind, as does welfare for those who can work but won't.)
