We need to cut back medicare and social security from retired boomers

Here 'mer, I'll help so we don't have to just 'lets say' :

Here are the numbers calculated on your figures compounded out to the fortieth year

Your 'let's say 3 million' is actually 604012 dollars, assuming the other half of your figures were correct. I am going to assume you used more 'mer embellishments on that as well and your 4-5k a year was probably your very last working year's contribution, graduated up annually from around 4-5 hundred dollars a year at the start of your careers. Your 'good basket of mutual funds' would have also taken 'good basket of mutual funds' ' fees every year, so the reality is that your total contribution including compound interest is in the order of 150 to 170k. Do you think you can work out what you would get a month from that total contribution and still leave the 150-170k to your kids?

You 'mers are so far removed from reality with your attitude of entitlement even extending to armed threats to the younger generations to uphold your perceived entitlement. I read the entire thread, and the only 'mer comment indicating any actual critical thinking was the one saying that they are going to burn the whole pile of shit down anyway.

It seems, from your comments, that you have earned those jabs that you say you were 'forced' to take.

Anyone under 70 obviously knew soc sec taken out of their paychecks was never going to be given back. It wasn't a choice.

For 40 years of your work, what you earned doesn't even account for 10% of the money the government will need to spend on you in the future. And saying that you've paid everything off is ridiculous. It’s like you are asking for something worth a thousand dollars after paying only a hundred dollars.


This is socialism.

My Dad died at 65. My husband died at 67. I have had several friends and family members who died in their 40's and 50's. Where did all the money go?

Great, just great.

All those people too old and disabled to pass an interview. I'm 66, tell me about it.

Without Social Security and Medicare we turn into India, with people abandoned on the sidewalk everywhere you go. Begging becomes the plan.

Don't forget the gang wars between different groups of the hard off, like we saw in Cairo, Egypt. Takes your breath away to see people who are natural allies hating and hurting each other because they exercised "begging rights" in another groups territory.

Want that here?

Don't waste your breath. Most of the kids today DGAF about reality or accountability - they want their free shit and they don't want to work.

If they perceive of YOU getting free shit that they aren't, they don't care why... they want it for THEM and they'll step over their dog's dying body to take it from you.

I work, I pay, I receive. That money is MINE, and if it's not coming from where it's supposed to> Not my problem. You don't like it, blame the people that stole from you. That's not me.

And before you go wasting any breath answering me, children - don't. Your entitled opinion means exactly shit to me. When you try to justify stealing from ME by pretending I've stolen from you, you just lost any credibility you may have had in this LIFE, never mind in my opinion.

Not a 'mer... just not an idiot.

Cheers.

Actually, you are an idiot that's the point. You allowed your government to steal off you, and now we are not going to allow our government to steal off us to pay you.

Wakey wakey, notice the checkout rates of the young ditching the system? And when it collapses, you think you're going to defend your loot and guns like that old Gran Turino.

'mer logic, but right there.

You still have time to get on the right side of the line and assist in the grassroots takedown that's going on, but by your comments you old fucks just want more of the same so you'll get your due alright.

LoL



Has there been any thread in the history of GLP that received more one-star ratings than this thread?

It's an effort for people to give one-star ratings

Socialist security is a scam and someone is gonna be without a chair when the music stops. Greedy boohoomers never even think about where the money comes from when the benefits run beyond what they paid in...

Me and my employer paid into both for 48 years. When do I get it all back with interest?

Many people don’t live to collect it either. Where is that money?

This used to be a value in communities and countries.

Wanna fucking bet??? ~snicker~
You will pay through the nose and boomers are laughing all the way to the bank.

I know, excuse my sarcasm

And most of us BOOOHMERS are still grateful to be living in the USA unlike you fucktard under 35's.

The money you accept is blood money- it was stolen. If you hire a hit man to kill someone are you not responsible for the murder? The government stole form you and gave your money to someone else. Now they are stealing an giving it to you - so not you are happy. We aren't pretending that you are stealing from us - its a proven fact. The idea that using a proxy absolves you of guilt is laughable.

This is boomer morality in a nutshell. Its okay as long as I get mine.

No one will weep for the elderly when they are cut off- which they will be. The dollar is collapseing . It will die before SS does. Your little check won't buy a peanut and you will starve, and deserve to

because you think they are entitled to make your losses whole by stealing from others. Moral Degenerate.

Fucking A, this was only just now released to public knowledge. Your privy is mine and soon will be I guess.

Weisshaupt is CIA DARPA funded new fedeally agency to root out dissent online. BEWARE!

The whole thing was a PONZI scheme from the beginning.
Moral people would have realized this was going to bankrupt their kids and demanded it be repealed. The Boomers were the only generation that had the required size to make a difference. They instead CHOOSE to burden future generations with their retirements - just as you are arguing that you still deserve something out of other people's pockets now.

Shouldn't you be living with your kids? Shouldn't you kids be taking care of you? If they won't, why should I , a complete stranger be doing that? Its your generation's prevalent collectivist attitude that other people are resources for your own use that is the problem. You are responsible for you - You should have saved for your old age. You should have children that care enough about you to care for you. I am not responsible for your life, and if you die why should I care? You see me as a walking wallet- not a person. SO why should I treat you like a person when you won't reciprocate?

Your money was given to the previous generation. Gen X and after will have "earned" their retirements as well - but they won't get them- will they?

Your SS payments are taken directly from the paychecks of those younger generations - both as SS taxes AND as regular taxes to pay off the government bonds

So tell me again how you are willing to kill younger people if they don't let you steal from them anymore?

Some people don't have children to take care of them. The disabled and elderly contributed a chunk of their earnings to Social Security and have every right to collect on it when eligible.
You will be old some day. Are your kids, if you have any, going to take care of you? You will find out, won't you?
