You will pay one way or the other. Will you be willing to support and care for your parents, whom I presume are baby-boomers, or would you prefer they care for themselves as long as they can on SS (they have paid for their life-time) or do you intend to kill them off so the government can pay for your child care or so you can get the top paying job you resent them continuing to hold--even though you want them to work til death. This thread is as selfish as you all claim the elderly are. Maybe you will have to use your family leave to take care of your relatives. That would be good and I am sure you will figure out how you can take any money they may have for yourselves before putting them in a nursing home.
I needed that rant!
I will be willing to support and care for my parents, unlike most boomers, who ignore their parents because 'they have social security and medicaid' or worse, pack off their parents to homes the first chance they get. SO climb back off that high horse, gramps. There is nothing selfish about wanting to spend my own money to take care of my parents, not YOUR money or anyone else's. You boomers who would take my money and the money of their kids to spend on themselves, sucking the country dry on their way to death, are the selfish bastards who want to keep the scam going. And you have the gall to call me some sort of thief?!?! Screw you, old man, and your Ponzi scheme huckstering, too! Rant right back at you, you pickpocketing old coot!
