To me it is among the worst things a generation can do to its offspring (i.e., to rob them of their wealth so we have easier lives), but people have to make that decision for themselves. ? I've paid into SS and Medicare my entire working life. I don't feel ripped-off when someone else who didn't pay in as much as I have gets to use those services. What do you do with the people who don't pay-in then?

To do so, it is necessary to say, "We don't really care what kind of fiscal disaster we leave for our future generations and we are okay with insanely higher costs of health care for younger families today, and the fact that there will be no Medicare for them when they're our age. Just pay-in a little of your wealth to be sure we have a well run government. That would be a government that does regulate the price of healthcare. Future generations will be just fine, assuming they have jobs to do.
