People are tired of paying for entitlements. Soon SS will be gone. Then what will the old folks do?

They will have to go to work like the rest of us. Or create their own job/business.

The old folks, as you call us....will demand all the SS money taken out of our wages, plus interest.

Very few companies will give them a job. From the age of 55 onwards, experience and work ethic may be very high but opportunities for employment are very low. Perhaps a Walmart greeter or McDonalds 'barista'.

You be sure and tell the old folks that they should find a job instead of sitting at home sick and broken by decades of work.

Yeah, you just do that.

Maybe us old folks will be able to quit paying for your kids school...I have grandkids grad. from college and still pay school taxes..my kids are in their 40’s and 50’s. They have kids that have grad. from college and they are also still paying for your kids to go to school..at taxes a lot higher than when my kids were in school..hubby died at 51, he never got to collect SS. Paid into it from the time he was 16.

Yeah you tell 'em. I've been working full time for 40 years and expect to do 10 more. Every check has SSI taken out but I guess I won't be entitled to my "entitlement" because you are tired of paying for it. My SSI contribution would be worth more than a million dollars if it was invested at market rates for the past 40 years.
