Why don't old people just get a job???? | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 1292314 United States 06/18/2011 01:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Old people are always looking for a free hand out. From Medicare to Social Security and every other free ticket social service out there, the elderly are a bunch of free loaders. Why should my taxes pay for their free health care and pill popping habits when all they do is lounge around watching Wheel Of Fortune and hang out all day on their porches? Old people need to get a job like everyone else and stop expecting everyone else to pay their bills! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1431854They have been paying into both systems for much longer than you or I have. It's not a fucking handout. They paid for it. |

Its the people who claim they are disabled with a bad back or some kid of crap like that, you know the ones who go out shopping and spend lots of time on the computer complaining about shit. I mean can't they just go out and get an office job or something like that? |

Those that have saved and prepared are the ones that know the value of giving back to the community, and the guy I just described doesn't need to work...he enjoys visiting the people on his route and likes to feel useful...he said if he just sat at home he'd die.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1431854This is literally true. I have seen it with my own eyes. They will proudly tell you how they voted against any entitlements their whole lives but see no contradiction in collecting every last dime they can scrounge out of not only the government but private charities handing out food, etc. And that's even retirees who have plenty of dough. And I am not some young punk who doesn't respect my elders, I'm within ten years of retirement myself. But I think it's the height of hypocrisy to want to abolish the social safety net then try to suck it dry of every dime you can get as soon as you get a chance to. |

Secondly, they have been paying into the systems for decades and are not getting anything 'free'. What world do you live in? Go to any of the big box stores and it is old people who greet you and check out what you leave with in your cart from the store. Look around child, they are working everywhere they can as no one can "sit around" as you describe and get by today. While you still can you might begin to chat with them and learn a whole lot of stuff about which you are clueless. |
