Boomers are the largest block of people that vote in the USA. They were FORCED to put $$$ into this dinosaur and they want it back. Any attempt to penalize that group will be political suicide .
It's true, I've paid in since I was 16 and that's a lot of moola multiplied by 78 million boomers...assuming we ALL have worked and paid into the SSA. I feel bad for the Gen. Nexters getting stuck with the tab.
Those working far outvote those retired, otherwise there won't be enough taxes to cover the SSRI payouts.
Either way, baby boomers are screwed.
