There's a boomer I know, he takes so many vitamins, easily too many. His doctor told him he was taking too much vit. D. So what does this dumbass do? Ignores doctors orders. Ends up in the hospital overdosed on vit. D.
He's asking...how am I going to pay this bill?! Thinks he shouldn't have to. Mother-in-law, also a boomer, says he shouldn't have to pay the bill.
I point out...the guy overdosed after being told to fucking knock it off. He didn't listen and received the natural consequence. Why is this the burden of the taxpayer?

Many non boomers recieve social security. When a person adopts their bastard grandchildren the child can get a monthly check. Many people adopt their illegitamate grandchildren because of this broken system. It doesn’t matter if the grandparents are wealthy they can still collect social security for the grandchildren.

At the bottom of my Social Security statements it says: "Please note: At current funding levels you will only receive 80 cents for every dollar indicated here." By the time I actually go to retire I expect that number to be $0. Because there won't be any more money in the Social Security system. It will all go to pay for the Boomers retiring now. So, be happy that you get the last of the money. They tell you it's a "lockbox" that safely stores your money. But, guess what? The Government has been spending that money. It's a Ponzi scheme propped up by people paying into the system currently.

Yes they have been spending and it's a ponzi scheme. But it's a system that I had to buy into if I collected a wage from a company. Other than putting money into another scheme (401k etc) There is not too many other choices. It's a system that has been in place long before I was born.

That is completely ignorant. Social security is something that is taken out of every paycheck and is supposed to be held in an account for you until retirement. If you paid into social security your entire life, then it is your own money.

Problem is it's really a Ponzi scheme. That's just the bullshit they tell you to keep you supporting a corrupt system. There aren't nearly enough young people to pay into the system to support your fat, old, disease-ridden asses.

Kiss my ass you ignorant shit-stained pup. Under penalty of the law I paid into the system for 55 years before taking a penny. Politicians stole from it every chance they got and left a trail of IOU's that you would see if you weren't such a dumb ass.

If there isn't enough money, it's because it was stolen.
