Like you mean when we were your age and complained about paying our FICA taxes so your grandparents didn't lose their homes or starve?
Oh, that's right. We never did that. We may have not liked it, but we didn't whine about it. We had too much respect for the generation that raised us to do that.
Seems to me that you're the whiner here. Try to be a little more civil, please.
Your forgetting that back then it was almost 20:1 supporting social security, now it's 3 to 1. FICA taxes are super high and will get much higher. I think we've got a much bigger reason to complain than you do.
LOL, cut the drama, I'm to OLD for lectures.
I'm sorry, but wasn't it your generation that coined the term "don't trust anyone over 30"? I think boomers who weren't military or boomer women who didn't have kids, should have the benefits drastically cut.
Yes, try to be a bit more positive about being $crewed, that's a good chap.
"Oh, that's right. We never did that. We may have not liked it, but we didn't whine about it. We had too much respect for the generation that raised us to do that."
Tail-end of the "boom" generation here. Begging your pardon, but I recall hearing PLENTY of b!tching about OASDI and Medicare from boomers over the last 25 years.
In any event, taxes will increase and benefits will be reduced. Like it or not, these programs aren't going anywhere.
