My older siblings are Boomers. One is still working living in a modest home, One doesn't own a home but is renting and has health issues, One has a home that was inherited and she is in very poor condition and one is dead from cancer but worked until he could not go anymore. None of them are taking cruises or out on the golf course living it up. I am so tired of the bashing.

This is just to pit people against each other. 🙄

It's not old v. young, that's BS.

The true answer is to lift the cap and make the rich contribute their fair share like average workers do.

Lift the cap.

Problem solved.

It's truly that simple.

@Pray2EndAbtn @The_JBS What an elitist comment. Not everyone had that opportunity.

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@ryanasanchez @The_JBS So compassionate.

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@liberscravola Just like it was passed onto them.

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

I am astonished at the vitriol being directed towards the boomers. My gosh, these are your parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents. They didn’t implement Social Security, that would be the silent generation. You all are calling them selfish even though they paid into it their entire career. I would say those of you bashing on them are the selfish ones!

Do I have this about right?

Boomers are awful people because they worked for 50+ years, paying into SS, a system they were forced to participate in, and now they expect to <gasp> actually receive SS payments when they retire?

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

I know many boomers who worked in a factory or as waitresses all their lives barely getting by. It’s their fault they didn’t have a better opportunity? Some people just don’t get those better opportunities but yet you want to take their only source of income. You sound like an out of touch elitist!

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@GunnelsWarren Yes! They want to make it an old verse young to divert away from the fact that the rich are really not paying their fair share.

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

They are creating a wedge issue between generations. I hope people see through this. They are going to end up ginning up enough anger to cause riots like what is going on in France right now. Then in a few years when social security doesn't bring in enough and recipients are cut 20% the politicians will be like - sorry our hands are tied.

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

Social Security was enacted under leadership of the Silent Generation. Boomers had no choice but to pay in to it their entire working career, much like the younger generations are. We should be able to find solutions to fix this without cutting it for those currently on it. That would be the federal government breaking its contract with the American people and if that happens Katie bar the door!

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@robbystarbuck Yes!

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@Saorsa1776 Social Security was actually enacted under the lost generation not baby boomers

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

You Boomers better keep your head down as the government is creating a wedge between you and younger generations as a diversion to avoid fixing social security. Some of the comments I am reading regarding that Cato Institute poll are pretty ugly.

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@TheScreamPits Boy, hate your parents much?

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@RyanMNeuhaus Is this the generation that paid for and helped the next generation(their children) with their college education? Are your parents Boomers? I guess they are selfish.

[comet21 @poorHillbilly]

@scottwhite1065 Not to mention back then you were expected to leave the house once you turned 18 and graduated high school.
