It's Time For Medicare (whether I want it or not)

[Gale Hawkins]

I thought that was covered very well when he discussed immigration labor forces? Huge drop in numbers during the previous administration. Huge flood of numbers over the past year.

The part about that which alarmed me was that we have became the "Roman Empire" of modern times. We now need immigration labor to sustain ourselves. That is very alarming!!!!

We have gotten fat and lazy as a nation. Hard times coming. We are on the precipice of losing our status as the leading nation on this planet. When our money is no longer the trade base currency, we are screwed.

As one who has by extreme age discrimination has already started inviting some to my 110th birthday bash in 2061 find this post highly interesting.

I find hope in watching the declining rate of England. They peaked 200 years ago but it only became painfully obvious 100 years ago yet today Big Ben is still going round and round.

I think the USA will have some form of financial and healthcare welfare for seniors into 2100+ but as in Europe today being a member of a wealthy family may be more desirable that just a common pensioner.

I see India as the next USA because of the British influence and their more Western business mind set and demographics.

So do I, but based on past history we will either do nothing or do something really complicated and stupid.

A quick read of that report tells me that the title is a lie.
Yep, penalize people who work longer and harder.

I couldn't read the whole article since it made me nauseous. Of course as mentioned the answer is punish the successful, those who paid the most INTO S.S. over the years.
My 95 yo Mother pays taxes on her social security as income.
Robin Hood was right!?!

I pay income tax on about 40% of mine.

Me too, yet we paid into it all those years!
Mom as well!
After anyone reaches a certain age, like Mom at 95...it should be no more taxes!!!!!

Yep . . . My thinking is after one retires there should be no more taxes on your home (most of our taxes on homes go to schools)
who has kids in school after they retire?
