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.”

Insofar as people are more comfortable with the status quo than they are with change, they will vote status quo every time. Everything I have posted is the truth, and until people wake up to this - things aren’t going to change.
What, you want the truth? That by 2020, America will be bankrupt, and it won’t matter whether you get your SS check, because the money won’t be worth anything?
That’s what we are staring at in the face right now. Even if you taxed folks my age 100 percent to pay for the existing benefits, we will still fall short. Default is coming, unless benefits are cut as soon as possible. We have about 8 years leeway given the enormous advantages handed down to you by your forefathers, the ones who went to the Moon - the ones who actually defeated a foreign power, etc. The list goes on.
