Even better - my Dad was Navy. Served on the first USS Saratoga in 1940 until she was sunk.

Anyway I am still working and paying taxes so I’m not sure why I got into this discussion in the first place. It just irks me when people talk about senior citizens like they are just useless objects and a total drain on society when that is not the case at all.

LOL. I was on the USS Saratoga also. The last one, CVA-60.

To funny.

I don’t see old people as useless at all. Although I cannot ever imagine retiring. But I know lots of old people down here that do not care how high income taxes go because they do not pay them, but if AppleBees raises price of apple pie by 5 cent all hell breaks loose. Having retired people in the tax-system is critical for keeping it in check.
