Younger workers are experiencing career stalemate as graying baby boomers become reluctant to retire. There is the problem. Spendthrift greedy geezers who won't pass the torch...

We need a law forcing old people (that would include me) to retire or go to jail! This would give opportunities to young people.
But I do want young people to become tax slaves so I can get increased social security, medicare, drugs so forth. Seems only fair!

I can agree with you, but they do have a right to keep working. Doesn't mean we can't resent it though.
I know of 3 specific instances in my office where we have employees over 75 who are double dipping while others are laid off simply because "it's boring staying at home". Well, I say go volunteer for something.
People are laid off right now in my office and these guys are working. Part of the reason is that they are on their wives health plans...yes, their wives work too. That means the company isn't having to pay any health bennies for them. Again something that is a business decision and within their right.
Still, it's hard to swallow sometimes.
It doesn't help when you chance to hear one mention that his check is what's paying off the $80,000 RV.
GOP_Proud...who is saving every nickle so younger people won't feel toward me what I feel toward these guys.
