Dear “cogadh na sith”.... me too! Personally, I couldn’t care less if it was freaking John Lennon come back from the dead toting Tim Leary under his arm. If he paid his due, he’s DUE. The boomers are the biggest voting block EVER in the country. I say ta HELL with the Xers. SPEND SPEND SPEND GET GET GET COLLECT COLLECT COLLECT LIVE LIVE LIVE. There. That makes about as much sense as the “I hate boomers let’s starve them all or throw them in the ocean because they smoked weed and we never did nothing but wear bow ties and sing patriotic songs our whole life” threads. Ridiculous.
Do you actually believe that there is a SS account somewhere with the name "Hi Heels" and X$ amount of dollars in it?!
There's not. It's pay-as-you-go. You paid for some WWII generation oldster's retirement, but there were a lot of you, so it wasn't so bad.
I'll pay for your retirement, but there aren't that many Xers compared to you, so we are well screwed. How much of my income will you want?
Here, here. Tis funny, us boomers got Xer’s for kids and they are naive enough to think we don’t know they smoked some weed and screwed around. Yep, Xers run around with angel wings and halos over their heads.
Oh, and poor misguided X’er that thinks we were bums, we BOOOMERS have paid more into the SS fund than any other generation has and probably will.
Now she, he, or it can sit the hell down and elect some politicians that will change SS for the better. And get used to us boomers, we are gonna be around awhile.
