Yes, that is indeed what lying politicians told you. It has little relationship to reality.
Just because we were thrifty doesn't mean we're gonna roll over and play dead while the redistribuitonists tell us what is "morally right."
So you're the one saying that future workers should have their paychecks confiscated to fund your retirement, and those who disagree are the redistributionists? That's a new one.
"So you're the one saying that future workers should have their paychecks confiscated to fund your retirement."
Yep, that's exactly what I'm saying. Now you know what our generation faced our entire working lives. And we damn sure paid plenty.
But like tabby said, EVERYONE gets a haircut. We ants aint taking the hickey without there being lots of politicians that get stung in the process.
