If you don't create children that can take care of you in old age, are you really an overall contributor to the continuation of our society?

If that's an option, I certainly wouldn't oppose it.

Old fricks destroyed this country and have been trying to blame the younger generations when they're the ones who have been running this country for a while now.

But Boomers should be the ones to take the SS hit. Start now. Anyone after their generation will automatically take a hit, and some group is going to take a massive hit when it collapses.


Why should the ones who have paid the most into it take the hit versus any younger generation still working, able to plan ahead to varying degrees, and have paid less into it?

Don't worry about it baw. We'll make sure you die on the dole and we'll fix the mistakes of the baby boom generation after they move into the next world to make into their personal piggy bank.

Enjoy retirement.

I remember when everybody was clutching pearls about the impending Obamacare death panels.

…now everyone wants to be appointed to one.

Another poster calling for someone to kill themselves over anonymous internet posts.

Trashy as frick and quite frankly, sick behavior



You’ve now had multiple people suggest this to you on here*. Perhaps this should trigger some self reflection on your behavior and how it elicits people to suggest you off yourself. In other words, the problem isn’t other people, the problem is you.


Also.. How trashy does it make you when you say you want to euthanize “many” seniors?


* I never actually suggested you kill yourself. I merely suggested you go to Canada and seek mental health help. You took from that what you wanted to.

(I still think the Canadians could help you though)

The boomers should have fixed SS, recognized the absolute drain it would be on future generations, and saved for their own retirement, like we are expected to.

They grew up during the greatest economic periods in US history.

The entire generation was afforded the opportunity to survive without SS.

Such an economically savvy and literate generation should give up SS since they don’t need it, right?

But iIf parents cant afford a kid form 0-5 then they shouldn't have them. And these numbers quickly change once free school starts getting added in.


Then you'll be bitching about all the immigrants because gens Y and Z aren't having kids.

If we’re being honest, Social Security was a Ponzi scheme from the beginning. Don’t blame the boomers, they were born into like the rest of us. Blame FDR, it was his baby.

Boomers were born into a strong world power and by the time they were middle aged the US was the world's only super power. Boomers had everything handed to them.

Oh, I completely agree.

I am simply stating that such an economically savvy and literate generation shouldn’t need it and should give it up for the benefits of future generations.

Such an amazing generation shouldn’t even need SS, right?
