Social Security is already dead. As soon as me and the rest of generation X take over, it’s the first thing we’re killing.
Boomers are (largely) idiots with little/no financial foresight.
Don’t expect us to pick up your baggage (or visit you in the nursing home.)

Who the hell is asking you to pick up our baggage?

I never wanted any part of Social Security, right from the first time the stinkin’ government forced me into a retirement program and took my money without my permission or consent.

Social Security is nothing more than a Ponzi scheme.
The World War II generation is on the good side of this pyramid scheme, the baby boomers are on the bad side.

On another note, I resent having a government mandated tracking number that allows both government and business
to track me and my life. It pisses me off to no end.

Many of us baby boomers worked very hard to give our children opportunities that we never had. If your point of view is the fruit of our labor then yes we did fail miserably.

Surely you forgot to tag your post as “sarcasm”.

Congratulations. You are truly a clueless product of our failed self-centered public miseducation system.
