(1,370 posts)I hope people are smart enough to understand what Wall Street's talking heads are trying to do here. Same old story, divide and conquer. They use race, religious beliefs, gender and now they're using age..
They've created an economy that ends up with the wealthiest holding the cookie jar and they are trying to convince us that we should be fighting each other over the crumbs that happen to fall through their greedy fingers.
What they're actually suggesting is, seniors collecting the benefits "they paid for" are somehow hurting children and young adults. They want us to believe in a world of crumbs and forget about a system that allowed the cookies to be stolen. They're trying to create a world where young people blame their grandparents for taking away their futures and of course if seniors start to feel guilty because their entitlement programs are taking food out of the mouths of babes all the better.
