You want to get mad, get mad at the politicians who couldn't keep their hands off our cash.

You mean the politicians that YOU put into office and kept there? (And "YOU" here is clearly in the plural, speaking to your generation as a whole.)

I will happily care for my parents, because they loved me and gave freely to me and raised me well. Other parents who raised their kids right will be taken care of. The rest of your generation can go hang. If the Boomers wanted to be taken care of, they shouldn't have raided their own SS fund while depending on it for retirement--and while also aborting half the Gen-Xers and Yers who would be providing the taxes for the future.

When Social Security began, there were 300 people working for every one collecting. Now that's down to 3-to-1. When the Boomers hit, it'll be 1-to-1. Sorry, but all of the good will in the world isn't going to keep that brick afloat.

I have an announcement. The Boomers are the LARGEST generation in the WORLD. We vote. When we are seniors, we will STILL vote.

So, guess what?
