2. It Needs Fixed

My retired neighbor just got back from 3 months in Florida. Absolutely loaded. All the things you see in the retirement commercials like vineyards, and Harleys, and playing in a boomer cover band on the weekend are an option. Kids and grandkids get college, weddings, elective medical procedures, expensive sports and cars guaranteed. I fault them nothing for all that, per se. They did by all accounts work hard. They didn't create the economy they stumbled into when they reached working age.

They also still get to collect social security, medicare, etc... while I pay into it for them and struggle to keep our old cars going and pay medical bills.

That isn't right on some level... I get that promises were made, but it wasn't a suicide pact either, and something has to give. You can tax me more, but I don't think a bunch of laboring folks working until age 70 will fix this.
