SS is the only thing that they have to live on since their 401K took a hit (if they had one) and their savings are gone due to illness or unemployment. And they have no prospect of a job because there just aren't any for them. But these multi-millionares and billionaires are so blase about saying how we should be means tested or work more years...let them give it a try...and I mean real work, not sitting on their asses pushing paper around and whining how it sucks to pay taxes while us peons live on "entitlements"...Oh I frigging hate that word now!OooSillyMenoreply@blogger.com
