I was responding to a question Bill Vaughn asked about who said what with regards to who should pay for schools. (I realize I said people "didn't care" in my original post to Bill, and you saying that the "young should now pay" is slightly different than saying you don't care... however the context is $$ so saying you shouldn't pay and don't care is somewhat synonymous, imo). But that was my discussion with Bill. With YOU I am talking about fairness, not what is wrong with the schools which is another diversionary measure - a different subject. It seems to me, that no matter what is wrong with schools or SS, the situation now is that the young are paying too MUCH or you are paying too LITTLE. So, if you accept that it either means we cut SS taxes for the young to your levels (about oh, 10% of what they are now), and in some states like Ca same for property taxes, or, we raise your taxes to our levels. Since SS is "not at tax" according to the aarp, substantial cuts in what the young pay-in will cut your benefits by 75% or so I would guess. But if I were you, I would choose that over paying what the young pay which is about 25-30K/year for a couple into programs that you get for free.
