RE:"When they the politicians say that taxes will go up 25% so that retirees can get their SS check, there will be a
such a stink that will cause SS to be killed. If someone or something pushes to hard, the "Silent Majority" will clear out those politicians that caused too great a pain to ignore. IMHO, the young are large part of the "Silent Majority". Would you stand for the government to take 80% of your total worth to pay for some program that is dear to the retirees heart? I would not. If the "People" get P.O., government will do anything to placate them. Currently, there are more Workers than Retirees."

The day 51% of the population gets a government check in some way shape or form is the day that your "silent majority" thesis is invalid. That may have already happened...
When the boomers start to retire there will be 1 worker for every 3 retirees...guess who will be the majority then?
