It seems only fair to me, as a baby-boomer, that you should not get one penny more than you have put into our "Socialistic" systems. Isn't that what you're saying- as long as it's someone else?

Our Declaration states that "Life" is one of the cardinal responsibilities and gifts given by our creator. Somehow, it gets lost when that affects some greedy geezer's pocketbook.
Your points and the spirit you gave them in are well taken. I don't really hear anger, and you do make some valid points.
