Social Security

Submitted by DivaJean on May 14, 2008 - 04:29.

As an X-er, I see that Social Security will absolutely NOT be there for me.

Those in the Boomer bracket voted to get the system to "work" for them when they carried the controlling numbers of voters.

When I near the appropriate age, if the system hasn't already gone bankrupt, you can bank that those younger than me- with the higher number of potential voters per the US census dept- will be voting to turn it around in their favor.

I don't want to sound like "woe is me"- I am such a victim-- because knowing this, I can plan accordingly and not be a victim.
