Jimbo is a boomer. He complains about being lumped in with those "other" boomers of a slightly different age, yet says not a word about the taxes they have imposed on all of us. Boomers are inherently narcissistic. Look elsewhere for answers.

Lawl. Which taxes exactly did boomers "impose on all of us"? The most evil of taxes, income tax, is centuries old in Britain. Even in the USA, the 16th Amendment is over a century old. The free government spending of the New Deal started long before the boomers were born. Boomers are victims just like everyone else since.

As for boomers being narcissistic, look who's talking. Boomers aren't the ones referred to as "snowflakes".

Boomers were about change: civil rights, the sexual revolution, the peace movement, the counterculture, rebelling against the military industrial complex, etc.

Look elsewhere for scapegoats.

Not to mention, the vast majority of Boomers I have met in my lifetime said that they voted against the raising of taxes (through parties or reps) at every step in their lives. But with such a corrupt political system, they were going to go up regardless.

Good afternoon Bitcoinland. Finally got some internet connectivity after an outage of almost 2 days. The trouble I had connecting to some sites that I posted about 2 days ago was just the start of a total breakdown. No internet means no contact with the outside world here. Thank gawd for large MP4/DivX collections on external SSDs. Thank you Bittorrent.

As it is, I didn't miss much in the world of Bitcoin. After a bit of bouncing, we're still in the mid-$9xxx range... currently $9708USD (Stamp). Can't quote Bitcoinaverage because it's one of the sites I still can't connect to.

Go Bitcoin go.

Then you have not met the vast majority of boomers. Either that, or voting actually does not matter.

Edit: Or they are just lying. That's one of the defining characteristics of narcissists, incidentally.

Do you have a reading comprehension issue?

I clearly explained that the welfare state existed long before boomers.

Not to mention, the vast majority of Boomers I have met in my lifetime said that they voted against the raising of taxes (through parties or reps) at every step in their lives. But with such a corrupt political system, they were going to go up regardless.

Then you have not met the vast majority of boomers.

You think you know what the "vast majority of boomers" is? Pardon me if I laugh again.

How many decades have you been observing boomers in how many thousands of localities for you to be an expert on boomers?

It's easier for a boomer to be an expert on snowflakes than for a snowflake to be an expert on boomers.  

Either that, or voting actually does not matter.

Now you're finally starting to make sense.

The problem is not that the taxes are too high, but probably a lack of taxes, especially the very wealthy don't pay shit, instead, they loan money to the government and the government overall creates money out of thin air rather than figuring out reasonable means to create sustainable programs, to live within reasonable means.. but hey, war mentality and outrageous spending on conquering the world in various ways and/or conquering people within the country is not exactly an approach to governance that is based on reason.. or fairness but instead bullying exacerbation of outrageous wealth disparities including fear to do anything that attempts to reign in exorbitant wealth because regular people want to identify with the filthy rich bullies and act as if the filthy rich deserved their gains and regular people want to aspire to such status, too... and believe that government is getting in the way.. instead of being a tool that should be more responsibly directed as a tool of the people rather than a tool for the filthy rich to exploit with their shenanigans.

In other words... pay your fucking taxes... and sure nothing wrong with either figuring out ways to pay less or figuring out ways to get benefits but also ways to make government more responsible and responsive to regular people, not an easy task, even with a money like bitcoin that is hopefully going to bring some abilities to make governments more responsive, but might take 50 years or more.

I don't want to pay taxes, but it's better than getting my ass pounded in prison.

Taxes have gotten higher during the reign of the boomers.

It is a simple matter of demographics. Your generation is big. Your voting power is big. The welfare state is your. fault. If you were against it, you would have voted against it. And you won't even admit it.

Perhaps Social Security could be paid our depending upon the amount of years you were voting age and the debt went up. Pay first toward paying down that debt, anything left over can be distributed in social security checks.

Win win for everyone I'd say.

"But I paid into that my whole life!"

Ya, you also took more than you paid in your whole life as well. Time to pay back.

[Ibian]

"But I paid into that my whole life!"

Exactly. That's the really infuriating part. Young boomer money was not locked in a box and left to get dusty, it was spent on all the social programs they have used their entire life. Especially and most expensively, care for the elderly when they get old.

The welfare state is a huge scam. Time to end it.

I even tell this to my parents. They don't like hearing it, but they also can not argue against it. This is a simple numbers game, you old decrepit farts.

Well, WHOSE debt went up? I am servicing MY debt.
I did not ask anyone to take on debt.
BTW, soc security statement says exactly how much you and your employers contributed.

So far, I contributed quite a bit, but got zero out and it will be this way for a long time.
By all calculations, boomers did not take their contributions out yet (the "oldest" boomers started getting Soc sec only in about 2012-2013, "youngest" would do so in 2029-2031 if there would be anything left by that time), it was prior generations that spent more than they contributed.

You fellas are misinformed at best.

[Wekkel]

I don’t envy the old. They’ll be stuck with whatever the State is willing to give them. Probably not a lot (anyone recalls the good old USSR?) and inflation will eat the rest.

The young(er) ones will at least be able to keep up somewhat through wage pressure.

A socialist muddle through may not even be the worst way to get through this 4th turning stuff.

But...bbut...does not matter what party you vote for in the U.S., none of them are going to end welfare, SS, or funding pensions. They'll just keep printing moar fiat to pay into it.

The Republicans won't end it.

The Democrats for shit won't end it.

The only party that has a snowball's chance in hell to end it, the Libertarian party, no one will vote into office.
