The app for independent voices

Ah, gato, why do I have this nagging feeling now in the back of my mind that you're just another elitist trying to turn us against each other...in this case, young against old? Look, some of us never made big money, okay?...because we were raising families, or didn't go to university, or weren't brilliant entrepreneurs, or we were just regular working shmos. I put 8% of my salary per year, while I was working full-time, into my 401k. It won't be nearly enough to fund the rest of my life, hoping I live long. Yup, I'm one of those horrible people who will actually *need* my SSA "entitlement"....the one I started paying into at age 15, that my husband, as a self-employed person, had the privilege of paying into *double*, that we had no choice but to do so. I voted for politicians back in the day who wanted to privatize SS, to no avail. Believe me, I'd rather have my compound interest. That being said, I also live *very* modestly, and will likely be saving some of my small SSA income once I start receiving it.

Anyway, how is your current diatribe of haves vs. have-nots any better than Joe Biden's disgusting "We're losing patience with you dirty unvaxxed vermin" (to paraphrase) speech of 2021? It's not.
