I’ve already “got mine” because I’ve been working 40 years. How long have you worked? I’m not trying to “take” anything from you. This boomer bashing usually comes about because of pure jealousy. After you have worked hard for 40 years, then you tell me how much of your money you want to give away to some younger jealous loafers with their hand out.
“I’m not trying to “take” anything from you.”
So long as you favor continuing the social security program, you are in fact stealing from each and every paycheck.
That’s how the system works. It takes from the young folks working and they pay the folks who are retired. The system is breaking down because:
1, there’s not enough young folks to pay for your benefits.
2, we don’t make enough.
You couldn’t live on what I make a year. Full stop. However, I don’t get to opt out of the same chunk of payroll that you take out even though I don’t make all that much.
‘then you tell me how much of your money you want to give away to some younger jealous loafers with their hand out.”
Which is why you’re picking my pocket? I don’t want your money. I want to hang onto my own.
