Believe me, no more than five years of boomers will get anything, unless they're absolutely dirt poor, and completely incapable of working. And even those will get cut off after another five. Maybe when the fraud is exposed, you won't have to pay it anymore, we've had it sucked out of us our whole working lives. Most of us have been under the amount where they stop taking the tax out, so we've always paid it on whatever we earned.

Frankly, I'd be surprised if your generation, or the one following you doesn't put a bullet through our heads to avoid paying us.

It's been predicted that eventually, if Social Security exists at all, it will be only for the genuinely needy and recipients will be forced to live in old age homes. Back to the future -- this was the way it was a century ago.

I think that's likely. There will be too many people on the receiving end, for SS, Medicare, nursing home care, etc., and too few people paying the bills. It will be difficult to cut back on "the third rail," so cut back on people. It will be easy to do -- for example, even now, there are many people in nursing homes with no one to care if they live or die. The solution suggests itself.

The fraud's already been exposed. Total collapse of the system is necessary.
