The older folks retiring today are the most selfish demographic on the face of the planet. They elect folks who spend massively on social programs, then want somebody else to pay their way.

You may be right. According to the Census, the over 65 crowd is the group with the highest net worth. Why should I pay social security to a crowd that has more money than I do?

Most of the people over 65 that I know are not rich, or even make a good living, most of them are at, or near, poverty level. I tell you what, why don't you give back the money they all spent paying SS for your grandfather, for instance most of them worked about 48 years and paid in SS before they retired. Just pay it back in one lump sum, no interest and I am sure they would be glad to get rid of the SS tax immediately.

All of you jerks that seem to think being over 65 means you are loaded need to get a life. These people are not stealing money they are taking back what they paid in, or do you think they should just forget about the money they paid all those years and let you have it? Talk about a selfish attitude, young people have the biggest selfish attitude of any group in the country.
