Let's hear it for the greediest generation. Sorry, seniors, I'm paying too much in taxes as it is. You're about to kill your host.
They were sold a bill of goods just like so many of the rest of us were sold some sort of bill of goods. And then when they retired, they were locked into a system they can't get out of.....and they still have to pay for the cost of regulations just like the rest of us which are passed through to consumers. I believe many are terrified of being put out on the crime-ridden/drug laden streets and so are willing to accept or take these handouts wiping it out of their mind what had to happen in order for this to be accomplished.
And it isn't going to get any better with the education system locked in place that we have. Until we start with the changing people one at a time to understanding what made this nation great, we will continue the spiral into socialism/communism as was predicted--without firing a shot....
Personally, I don't see any hope, especially when you look at what is supposedly a website of 'conservative' voices/thought and the vast majority act as cheerleaders for the 'conservative' version of socialism/communism!!!
