At long last, the truth comes out. You want to kill anyone who disagrees with your ideology. You could have told us that from the beginning and we could all have avoided a lot of wasted time trying to have a rational conversation with an irrational person with dictatorial aspirations.

This by the way is the same sort of generalization that makes your side the racists. We assume that individuals can make decisions apart from whatever group they belong to. You assume that an entire group makes decisions as one.

Get rid of government retirement benefits and force people to be responsible for their own retirement and the problem is solved.

The sort of calamity you're railing against here is exactly what happens every time people who share your ideology get their way. In fact, it was people who share your ideology who started the whole idea of a "safety net," that was supposed to expire by the way, that lead to the broken social security system we have today. Congratulations. You get to see first hand what happens under your idea of effective government planning when humans are involved.

All of that aside, this article is exactly the sort of mealy mouthed whining I would expect from a member of generation X (my generation) who was raised to believe that everything should be given to him on a silver platter. This is the sort of person that "a trophy for everyone" produces. I don't blame the Baby Boomers for the economy. I blame them for failing to teach their children the value of hard work and dedication. They didn't want their children to go without, so they afforded them every excess. Those chickens are now coming home to roost.

If you don't like your life, get off your ass and do something about it. This is one of the few places on earth where that is actually possible, and we still have multitudes of people whining that they can't do it because it's too hard. Well, life is hard. Suck it up and deal with it, or roll over and die.
