This may be my shortest rant and contribution to HD and it’s about old folk.

We seniors do not DESERVE anything from society or government. This is especially true when giving extra benefits to seniors takes away from younger generations or shifts more tax burden to them.

We do deserve to receive what we contributed toward and were promised by law - Social Security, Medicare, but that also applies to every American. 

The vocal movement on social media to eliminate property taxes for citizens age 65 + is especially disturbing to me - along with tax-free Social Security. The vast majority of comments support the idea. 

Without eliminating vital local services along with taxes, how do these greedy oldies propose paying for schools and more?

We had a lifetime to prepare for our non-working years. Our relative financial position over age 65 reflects our economic status during our working years regardless of where that falls. 

IMO it’s just not fair to take more from the following generation.
