    But they outnumber us and they vote for themselves.

    We will outnumber those younger than us too when we get there. Will we continue the increasingly unsustainable pensions for ourselves that we had to pay for our entire working lives for those before us?

    Fuck me it looks bleak, no wonder people ain’t having kids. Fuck all support because it’s all going on the elderly.

        They can vote to make us pay for them to have higher pensions than ever, and make it difficult for us to ever own a home.

          Look around, pal. That’s not a threat it’s just an observation. At this point any vote to tax the lower brackets is a vote to squeeze blood from stones. Clearly there is a lot more blood at the top to start skimming, Elon Musk is on track to become the first official Trillionaire.

          And when the time comes for me to retire I will promote a lower population for the many ethical and responsible reasons to do so. When the time comes for me to claim pensions, social security, IRA withdrawals, etc I will be advocating redistributing the wealth of the nations top earners. I will never, ever, be stupid enough to blame salary workers for not having the capability of sharing their meager earnings with me on their own.
