Just hypothetically, let's consider the possibility that the Social Security idea is unsound; that is, when a large working population provides income for a small retiree population, things work fine. But when it's a smaller working population attempting to support a large retiree population, then it doesn't work.
Since the demographics of the Baby Boom have been understood for half a century, then the question becomes, "Who in their right mind would support this system, knowing that it must break down?"
The answer to the question is that such a program is supported by socialists who prefer government "solutions" and control rather than personal freedom and responsibility.
Regardless of the group to which you belonged during your productive years, the foreseeable consequences of Social Security were just that; foreseeable.
You can bet that the productive population, at such time as its numbers permit, will vote away YOUR "entitlements", and justifiably so.
Yea!Well right now any politician that attempts that is “Voted away” You are probably right though. In about 20-30 years when me and your Dad are gone they will probably vote them away. Oh wait, thats when you will want to draw it. Never mind.
Maybe the boomers will vote away your life as we are the largest ARMED segment of the population.
