I did everything the right way..put cash into ira and 401k accounts, paid my taxes, bought and owned my own home. Now, there are people who want to take all of this away...I am close to retirement age, yet there are those that want to raise the age for SS...I paid into it for 35 years, now this group wants to take it away from me...I lived in the same house for 22 years, now this group wants to take that away from me..I saved cash so that I could retire early and live a decent life, now this group wants to take that away from me...this group is made up of 25 to 45 year old people, and of 65 to 90 year old people...they are made up of both liberals and conservatives.......touch my life and you will indeed have a shooting war..
I feel the same way even about the Social Security we were forced to pay into that and I don’t give a rats azz if the politicians stole it both of us paid in over 40 years each and we want our money back.
To not do so would be outright theft which many on here seem to have no problem with.
Our home is paid for and we have no debts and it’s bad enough that because of the fed’s printing which is devaluing the dollar we are experiencing inflation on every day things we need, i.e., food, gas and getting next to nothing on our savings. The banks are just parking the money and earning far more interest then we are.
