“Don’t you get it? Boomers can no more get rid of the entitlements than Republicans can.”
And as Churchill once said- sometimes you fight when you can win. Other times you fight - because you didn’t fight before, and now you must. We must fight this, because if we don’t things will be even worse.
You can either fight with us, as we try to fix stuff, or you can choose to sit on the sidelines. I cannot make you want to help but I can ask. And I am asking - please, help us fix this.
“I suggest you martial young people to the cause, but don’t expect anything good to come from it until you get young people to stop voting for dems.”
I won’t get anywhere if I can’t get boomers on my side. We need you and we can’t get it done without your support. This is why I am making my pitch to you - not someone else.
“You are blaming the wrong people, my FRiend.”
Believe me - I sincerely wish that were true.
I would love to help you, however your attitude is not attractive, and doesn’t endear you to anyone.
As I said, we’ve lived our lives as though there would be no entitlements, so it’s no skin off of my nose.
Even my granddaddy, who would have received many times more than he paid into SS, took what he paid in, plus a little interest, and gave the rest to charity.
Even though he didn’t want any more, he was unable to stop the payments.
Face it...it’s been forced down our throats.
Blaming boomers...putting the blame anywhere other than where it belongs...won’t help your cause whatsoever. It turns those who would love to help “off.”
