I am a baby boomer. I visit the doctor almost never, because I am on some health insurance through my employer, which costs me $603 per month, and then I have a $4,500 deductible before any benefits kick in.
I have worked full time for over 40 years, with my only “draw” on funds having been less than 6 months of state unemployment benefits, for which the employers pay into the benefit pool (not taxpayers).
I don’t think any millennials have paid for anything for me, nor do I expect they ever will. My taxes have paid for the roads they drive on, the schools in which they were educated, and probably many thousands of other benefits enjoyed by millennials.
My son and two stepsons served with the USMC for 5 tours in Iraq. My husband and his father both served in the USMC.
What have you done for us lately?
I earned my Eagle Scout when I was 15, having donating countless hours to my community. After that, I served six years in the military. Specifically, I joined one month before 9/11. After that I served as a congressional staffer for one of the top rated conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. While working full-time for such conservative I earned a law degree on my post-9/11 GI Bill. In between looking for a job that will allow me to support your socialism, I spend most of my time volunteering with the local bar association helping low income tenants facing eviction.
BTW, I love people who puff their chest out and rate their patriotism based on the service of others. Where did you serve?
