As is rent and food. So what?

One of the interesting things about this argument is that I'm arguing against self-interest. The programs that you folks are advocating end up subsidizing old people, even those who are relatively well off, like me. That subsidy is paid for by younger folk who are, on the whole, less well off.

Back when I was young and less well off, I found that absurd and wrong. Now that I'm approaching the other side, I'm beginning to see the error of my ways.

It's like social security. How many of you think that younger-than-you people will be willing to pay the benefits that you've "earned"?

I was pretty sure that your generation wouldn't stand for that wrt mine. I was wrong but are you sure that I just wasn't early?

If you want to rely on "a greater fool", be my guest.

I suppose that I should just take your money and shut up.
