And it *looks* to me like you’re a grumpy old person, looking for a handout while being in need of an update to your eye prescription. Someone who dreadfully wished they could have lived in a time more suited to not being immediately stacked against the “Greatest Generation” and at the same time, resentful of the work ethic exhibited by generations since.
Your people brought Woodstock, JFK, expansionism in government, defeat in ‘Nam, bigger Media (that is only now being crippled), and 30 years of cowaring beneath desks in classrooms after your parent’s political heads decided to let Stalinism stay in place.
It is no small truth that points out that within the Reagan Administration, generation X was raised into the kind of people they are. Whereas yours was marked by Hoover, Kennedy and Johnson.
You want an “Ouch”? Hope you’ve been saving up your personal investments. We’re coming after Social Security next. We have no desire to give you a free-ride.
Oh, and next time you want to insult me... address it TO me. Freudian slips are a b1tch.
Sweetheart, I am a 49 year old married mother of a 12 year old. I have worked since I was 15 years old. My eyesight is better than 20/20 and I pay cash for all my medical needs, which is zero because I am of great health and look like I am in my 30’s.
When one starts grouping everyone in the same pile, it gives the impression of your own doubts, beginning with yourself.
I don’t want a damn thing from anyone, especially you. I have contributed and continue to contribute to this great pie in the sky SS/Medicare for all of those retired and on pensions, Union and Government workers and yes the Greatest Generation who benefited from my hard work and contributions over the PAST 35 YEARS! Notice they didn’t seem to mind my contributions until they realize I might want to claim some benefits in 25 years, WHICH I DON’T!!!!!
I could have invested my several hundred thousand dollars in SS. Just what do you think that would be worth at 10% growth over 35 years Sherlock?
Get a grip and stop blaming the problems of government on one generation. First of all it is called GROWING UP and second you might feel better! Hell, I hated the hippies too!
However, if you ever put me or anyone else my age in the Geritol crowd I’ll personally come through your monitor and X@!!XX@@@!!... /s.
Have a nice day.
Oh, and did I mention I’m Scott/Irish Mac?
