*It’s really bad, especially now when so many seniors are forced to get jobs just to make ends meet.*
FORCED? Just remember SSI is an income SUPPLEMENT, not a be all-end all.
*Assuming that seniors can even get jobs.* McJobs-plenty of them out there. If you need to work full time at that age something’s wrong.
For every tax dollar that goes to those under age 16 there’s $6 that goes to those over 65. In the overall scheme of things the seniors are doing quite well. Who’s gonna say it to the black population? Cut the crap.
“For every tax dollar that goes to those under age 16 there’s $6 that goes to those over 65.”
I think you mean federal tax dollar.
A 14-year-old kid probably hasn’t paid much federal tax.
If older people weren’t favored by the benefits system, older people would bolt the USA(or UK) as soon as they reached retirement age, or way before.
Bullspit!
