If I got to keep the dollars they took out of my paycheck for four decades who knows what it may have been an investment towards - like a house - that also would be worth alot more now. You arent doing both sides of the equation.

Instead the government spent my earned money on others- probably on wars but also on social services that likely benefited many children that are of age now.

In addition to my reduced paycheck, I responsibly paid for over priced private health insurance year after year - never having benefits, never seeing doctors, never in a hospital. I was young and healthy.

No younger generation is being robbed in some way that I as a boomer was not robbed. Put the blame where it belongs and stop sowing seeds of generational division. It is only a Ponzi schem because the government is CORRUPT.
