The number one entitlement in America is social security. The folks who pay into social security are the millenials and Xers who are actually working.

Without this, the whole ponzi scheme would collapse. Right now, we just hit record highs of one person on social security for every 2 fulltime workers.

That’s the same as a 50 percent tax rate just to support workers who are retired. Then the said millenial has to sit down and try to support themselves on that 50 percent.

And people wonder why the standard of living is dropping? Taking money from poorer young people who are trying to earn the money and giving it to folks who have many assets is wrong. It’s unsustainable.

This boomer here is still working after 40 years. If you millenials don’t like the social security then why did you vote for your guy Obama to continue the scheme and run it even further in the ground? There are a hell of a lot of you millenials sitting around with your hand out waiting for someone to do something for you.

You boomer bashers really take the cake. It’s always someone else’s fault.
