Hi Lizzie, I admire your passion for this subject. And you've certainly made some great points. The wealthy elderly have absolutely no case whatsoever. Living high on the hog at the expense of the working young is a sad moral state. But to answer your question... res-HiCan you explain to me why when a young person gets a stock option windfall of say, 500K they have to pay $7500 into medicare and when an older person makes 500K (as capital gains) in the markets they pay NOTHING? The elderly VOTE. And in far more numbers proportionally than the young. What really irritates me is when I hear young people complaining about the elderly benefits, then saying, "nah, I don't vote what's the use." (cynically). Not that this describes you. But I would be curious how many people in your work group actually vote. Or better yet, write their congressperson on a regular basis to describe their concerns. Michael
