It is not win-win-win. Boomers will stay in the top slots, demanding the same income, which would otherwise allow for income improvement for Gen X and hiring new workers in Gen Y.
Win-win-win my hiney. It's a win-win-win for boomers and government. It sucks for those of us who follow. I guarantee you one thing. If my generation is taking a hit because of those greedy bastards, I'm making sure they go down with me. Your solution does nothing but help them and hurt Gen X and Y. F that.
You will pay one way or the other. Will you be willing to support and care for your parents, whom I presume are baby-boomers, or would you prefer they care for themselves as long as they can on SS (they have paid for their life-time) or do you intend to kill them off so the government can pay for your child care or so you can get the top paying job you resent them continuing to hold--even though you want them to work til death. This thread is as selfish as you all claim the elderly are. Maybe you will have to use your family leave to take care of your relatives. That would be good and I am sure you will figure out how you can take any money they may have for yourselves before putting them in a nursing home.
I needed that rant!
If your skills and talent aren't up to snuff, you won't get a job, regardless. Don't blame somebody who stays in a job they're qualified for, and are darned good at, because suddenly the requirement that they retire is itself retired.
Think about it: Here is one more big government intrusion into our lives, mandatory retirement, that would fade away. I thought Libertarians believed in the concept of getting government out of our lives. Guess not, huh?
BTW, you're not in Gen X or Gen Y. You're in Gen I, because that's all I hear from you guys - I, I, I, I, I. Your "generation" has a large bunch of myopic, self-serving losers, IMO.
Also, the people in the top slots you refer to are more likely to have set aside a retirement nestegg, and would be less likely to continue working voluntarily than seniors in the lower brackets, so your complaint doesn't hold water.
By allowing seniors this option, we would be putting far less of a drain on the SS system, because it would be paying out far less in monthly checks, so you Gen I people would likely see a smaler increase in the amount that is taken out of your paychecks. That would be a good thing, but because you're a myopic, self-serving Gen I'er, you can't see that.
