This is one of the dumbest things I’ve read on here. Boomers paid into SS their entire lives. They have a right to withdraw what they put in. They didn’t create SS.

So why are we to blame for getting SS payments that is coming from current employed people?

Just like belittling and demeaning people because their personal political views don't exactly align with yours (not necessarily you).


Well you can choose your political views, unlike what year you were born.

Speaking of, which generation gave women the right to vote? Because they’re definitely the worst generation.

Follow the decline in parenting (if 2 parents at all, the two are working parents that creates latch key kids and high risk of parental distraction/ non present), divorce rate and relative ease with which to separate, etc and you will find the root of 66% of what you are blaming on boomers.

I am not a boomer.

The world changes. Always has. Always will. Generational finger pointing is silly.

Get the parenting / family right and good chit happens…across generations.

I am delaying my SS at least until full payment just to pile on to your woes.... and based on my family history, I get to take your money for another 30years...

And I don't have any kids so I can take it from you and yours...

and in my will, what's left goes to boomer siblings!

So - thanks!

Maybe. Or maybe they all get sick of your shite, seize your assets, cut off your payments, and send you to the old people camps they’ve been building in sourthern Maine.

It’s confusing to me. What I gather is that they worked for decades in a job where they didn’t pay SS and were entitled to a pension. Then worked in a job where they did pay SS. The wages from both jobs were used to calculate their SS benefits. The WEP attempted to correct this. The new law eliminates the WEP


Not exactly. The WEP would cut one of the bend points from 0.90 to 0.40 for 20 or less years of qualifying substantial income. Every year of qualifying substantial income after that increased it by 0.05 until year 30 which got you back to 0.90.

The income used to calculate social security is the average of your best 30 years of qualifying SS income. So, if a government employee works 30 years without paying into social security, and then works 10 years at a new job that does pay in, their average income for SS purposes is the ((20 x 0) + 10 years income)/30. The WEP didn't change that part, it just removed the reduction from 0.90 to 0.40 on the first bend point.

Also, some state and federal jobs pay into both the pension fund and SS; in that case, they would get both.

The only people who complain about other generations are the ones that don’t want to take responsibility for their own problems.

I’m not complaining and I generally don’t have any problems (other than it being hot as balls)
