@rsmithgi@wrowclif In 1935, life expectancy was about 60 years. You could retire at 65.
In 2026, life expectancy is about 79, and you can retire at 67.

@aj_moroney@Fat_Electrician Every tax is a robbery at gunpoint. Do I get my taxes back if the government doesn't fix the road or provide a school that produces children who can read?
@whitacre107@theschmidtshow I make above 90th percentile income, so try again. If I'm the lazy one, why are you the one with your hands out begging for me to pay for your retirement?

@Elishasaxe @seanmdav I pay more taxes than you ever did, you had 50 years to elect someone to fix the program. You can eat cat food in the street for all we care.
