“Medicare and Social Security take money from the young and give it to those of us who had decades to invest and save. That’s just unfair.”
We boomer worker bees had money we earned forcefully stolen from us for decades. It’s our frickin’ money, taken from OUR paychecks.
If money is being taken from the young, they (ideally) will reap the benefits as we did. If those funds go belly-up as we’re told they will, we and they need to elect better pols.
Also, BTW , life isn’t fair.
