we deserve it.
That’s the problem. You didn’t plan for retirement. If it was YOUR money I’d agree but since it is MY money you feel you deserve, I hope the boomers die very early and very often. Not because I hate them but because I don’t want to see them complete the destruction of America in a generation.
They gave us the sexual revolution which evolved into the AIDS crisis and teen pregnancy epidemics, mainstreamed Marxism, narcicism unrivaled throughout history, single mother homes, the drug problem and the statist policies to follow, postmodern relativism, Political Correctness, economic ignorance, outsourcing, and to top it all off they’ll bankrupt the country so that they can sail off into the sunset to enjoy the leisure years at my expense.
Nah I’m just kidding, I didn’t mean it.
I’ve worked for decades at or near minimum wage. And yes, I paid in the same flat rate taxes for Social Security and Medicare.
So I look at it as getting back some of the money I paid in.
And how much did you expect me to save for retirement after the government got done taxing me?
