True, I would now attempt to answer your incorrect assumptions piece-meal...
>>>.In most cases, retired people do not receive any special perks. They collect social
security which is their own money collected by the government as a payroll
deduction,reduced to 30 cents on the dollar by mismanagment and waste and, held until
government specified retirement age. It amounts to a federally enforced savings plan
from which most people can never recover their contribution to the plan. >>>
Social Security is a sham, perpetuated by political pressures of "retired" people, who are unable to grasp a reality (voting record) that it is a responsibility of the well to do families and private industry (pension plans) not State to provide for them...At any rate since baby-boomers are the last to have opportunity to bankrupt it as they surely would, this issue is settled....
As for perks, the proliferation of the very nobel and "humanitarian"
services, (hospice, nursing homes, home health care, restorative clinic and on ) all of which is really responsibility of the family...
nails last hope for their children for even a match with standards of living enjoyed by this generation...
Other minor perks such as retirement age set at 65, completely ignores reaity of longevity... |
