I worked 2 jobs and my wife worked one and we raised 3 kids. We could sock it away. That's not the way it is today. We lived after FDR put in place social security
minimum wage
unemployment insurance
abolishing child labor 8,10, 12 yr olds were working in the fields and factories
the forty hour work week
collective bargaining for unions
strong banking regulations
deposit insurance in banks [don't hide youre money in you matress]
job programs
College was dirt cheap. I want my grandchildren to have the same chance I had, we all had. Does that make me selfish?

It does if that means that they don't have to work for it, rather the socialist want to steal it from someone else to give to them. Everyone has the same right to work and the same right to gain wealth. I could still be making a six figure income, if I wished. But, I don't want to work for it. Not now. I enjoy my retirement.
