I'm sure this post will piss people off

But I really don't care.

So I have been reading in the paper about old people complaining about their social security wages... that they are not getting a cost of living increase. They state reasons like "if the cost of food, etc is going up, my payments should too" or, "I fought in two world wars for the younger generations to survive, I should get a cost of living increase"

blah, blah, blah.

Lemme explain to you older peeps, I am paying for your social security right now and have for the past 15 years as all of my friends have (some of which ever longer). I haven't gotten a cost of living increase, in fact for oh the last two years. So I now should pay more taxes for you?

Lets be realistic, there will be nooooo social security left when I retire cause the baby boomers aren't fucking dying (hello! the retirement age is 65, people aren't dying for atleast 20 years after that) Plus, the cost of living isn't really going up, at all. All my bills are the same. And if I think something is too high, I call the company and threaten to leave them and get a better rate (better rate = lesser bill)

Now, my in-laws aren't complaining about more money in their social security checks, their happy with what they get, why? oh you know cause they were smart and paid off their mortgage and debt before they retired so they are easy living.

If you are over 60 and still have a mortgage and debt, thats fucked up, on your part, not mine or the younger generation. Deal with it like all the rest of us are.

Cause at the end of the day, my bills are higher than yours (or should be) and your pulling in a good amount of money. Especially those that never worked a day in their life but when they hit retirement age they get a social security check because their spouse worked.

get over it, the young guns are in a worse position than you. I know I am, I have a full 30 year mortgage and doubt I will get a raise in the next coming years.
