That would be the hard working taxpayer who helped build the country and actually paid into Medicare and Social Security.

Yes: the hard working taxpayer who helped build the country and actually paid into Medicare and Social Security … while never bothering to demand that the programs were fully funded (for Social Security) or sustainable (for both). We are all participants in a generational conspiracy to kick the can down the road. Some of us have been arguing for reform for many years. Others have gone along willingly with the Ponzi scheme. But we are all in the same boat. Our children and grandchildren will be entirely within their rights to cut us off. Sooner or later, they will. The only real question is whether they will manage to do this before we drive into the ditch.

‘Our children and grandchildren will be entirely within their rights to cut us off’

And the law already allows it. They just flip a switch, and the SS payments start being portioned. It will begin in about 8 years I've read. Look for special interest groups to sneak in exceptions!
