I'm an old retired guy and remember the good old days.

Me, too. Trump and I are Geminis soon to be 80.

Here's an idea: With millions quickly out of work permanently due to high tech and AI that benefits a dozen or so trillionaires, have us retirees pay for socialist universal income for the ones out of work. /S

Don't you think it will soon dawn on the government guys that we retirees can be taxed to pay for the illegals, welfare hogs and now the displaced masses? You can't tax AI to pay for it all.

Already happening. My wife and I were forced into higher tax brackets due to our RMD's. Our retirement plans that we saved for, are being taxed at high rates. Those tax dollars are already going to socialist payouts to others. On top of that, they want to pass a wealth tax that will take more.
