Oh really? I can top it...

I think older people have it much better than the people my age ever will and need to appreciate the government benefits they do have . I've personally paid into the SS system for 35 years and will probably never see one red cent, much less Medicare by the time I'm old enough to qualify because there won't be any money left. My 401K took a huge hit and will never recover. I don't own my home outright. I have to work for a living and if and when I ever need to find another job, add me to the other 5000 people applying for it. Thanks to our illustrious president and his stupid health care plan, my company is about to raise rates to the point where I can't afford to pay it anymore and I have dependents who need it. Should I go on? I don't mean anything personal, I'm just debating my point.
