I'm afraid your co-generationists have already spent that AND your childrens' future as well. They're working on the second generation. There's nowhere to recoup it from, except from those not yet born. And since the boomers wielded the political power that put the folks in office to make it so, it's your peers that own the blame.

You are historically challenged...again. The social security scam was created during the FDR era. I wasn't born until 1956...well after FDR was dead. My very first opportunity to vote didn't happen until 1974. The social security scam was instituted long before I had any opportunity to participate in the political process.

I'm sick of your BS. It's you who is historically challenged. When SS was created it had a very low tax rate and served a tiny percentage of the population. It could possibly have been appropriate under those circumstances, but not under the current ones. And under boomer control the facts of the program changed so that those after them would get nothing. This is hardly a secret - it's been known for decades and the boomers have deliberately and definitely decided to do nothing so that they could be the (final) beneficiaries.
