Stop complaining, and suck it up and help pay for the huge increases in social spending the over-50 set are voting in for themselves.

You'll notice that most of these benefits were voted in by "The Greatest Generation" for "The Greatest Generation"...that is, WWII vets.

Personally I'm on the younger end of the "Baby Boomer" generation, and I expect Social Security will be bankrupt before I get back much of what I've paid in. I'd much rather be able to invest that money in a 401K or similar plan.

Yes, it is a government-sponsored Ponzi plan. Of course, I don't think the people who invented it ever foresaw declining birth rates....

I totally agree. Social Security is a government-mandated pyramid scheme. The further away you are from retirement, the less you can expect to receive.

My sarcastic post was intended to poke fun at those people who are labelling anyone complaining about it "whiners".
