I was a freshman in college in 1966. Had hair down to my shoulders and smoked marajuana on occasion. Didnt like it, prefered beer, and yes I DID inhale. Still didnt like it. I was against the Vietnam war because it was a bullshit war. Still believe that today. I held quasi liberal views into my mid 20's because that is how long it takes the real world to eradicate the bullshit you are taught in college by communists pretending to be teachers.I went to the U. of Texas in Austin.
Today, I am married and run two successful corporations. I am and have been a conservative since I voted against peanuts for brains Jimmy Carter in 1976. I have paid more in taxes and Social Security than you will probably pay in your lifetime. As it looks now, I'm not gonna need the pittance that is coming from Social Security but, what I do with it is none of you f**king business! I suggest you go out and get a job and stop your pathetic whining. Most of the " Hippies " I know from the 60's are respected and reputable people who contribute daily to the betterment of their communities.
The money you paid into Social Security is gone, or is now being spent to pay current retirees. The money that you expect to receive will be paid by people like me who are a generation or more younger than you. That money is my f**king business, your expectations are not.
Glad to hear that you don't need the money. I'm planning on it not being there.
Wow what a wonderful and insightful story of your life! Like I haven't heard it all before a million times, do you think I (or anyone) cares to hear another lame story 'bout the 60's?

Vintage arrogant baby boomer BS, how do you know what I've paid or will pay? Perhaps I've owned a business or two myself...and had to make matching payments for all my employees...eh...:) You just don't know do you, but in your all too typical baby boomer bravado you make stupid ignorant assumptions, making my point that yours is truly a generation of swine.

Vintage ignorant baby boomer BS, I have to pay your gd bills.

Trust me I'm not interested in your suggestions, I've been listening to them for all too long. It would be nice if baby boomers would humble themselves for just a minute or too to listen to suggestion or too for a change. Here's one for you: shut-up, the rest of the country does not want to hear your generations 'suggestions' anymore.

Ok fine. But the general overall effect of your generation to this country has been negative, very negative. In any case, it's not up to your generation to judge.
