Decades ago (I'll assume you mean the 80's) you had around 9 workers paying for each retiree. Now, it's a 3:1 ratio. And the tax rate has gone up since then!
Trust me, Gen X is feeling more pain relatively than you were decades ago!
Gen Y (almost as large as Baby Boomers) will vote in Euthanasia!

Yup, and it'll be the Gen-Xers they'll be euthanizing, too. Poor Gen-Xers! They're going to pay, then their kids are going to kill them, because they had to listen to them whine about their Boomer parents for all those years. Bummer!
