>> What's wrong with welfare for the elderly?

What's wrong with it it that it takes 3.3 young employees to support one elderly person.

Who's going to pay for YOURS? Or your children's? Or their children's?

Ted, What's wrong with welfare for the elderly? Eventually, we will all be elderly......even you!

I don't want my kids to have to pay for me when I retire. Nor am I going to rely on government wealth redistribution, either. I'd much rather put my SS taxes in a bank account that I cannot touch until I'm 65.

Ted,

re: What's wrong with welfare for the elderly?

If they really think it's "welfare" for the elderly, there is an easy way to "fix" it. Raise the social security percent paid by the higher wage earners without raising their benefits.

That idea will go over real well with the right <LOL>.
