Why don't old people just get a job????
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!

They have been paying into both systems for much longer than you or I have. It's not a fucking handout. They paid for it.

Employment is an old-paradigm concept. People should look for ways to earn their own income rather than being dependent upon a job. Those with jobs are just as dependent upon others for their well-being as those on welfare.

Naw old people are ok, they worked hard and deserve to get a few free bucks. 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?

I agree, except I do believe in providing for those that truly can't. 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.

Re: Why don't old people just get a job????
people pay into it - and save their own money, that is , if life has been good and they havent had any major issues, or lost their pensions or been swindled or been raped by the govt in taxes!
SS is a a back up , it isnt a life savings! Never was!
and people do work until their old ages now, they have to now, see them all the time everywhere now! but most old people cant work for obvious reasons which I guess your too dumb to figure that out!
even tho old cannot rest their weary bones,,, as for you young person,
I hope when your 80 and senile someone tells you " get to fucking work" your worth less pc of shit!
but they probably say that to you now - CAUSE YOU ACT LIKE YOU ARE ONE!

This 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.

Those that saved up? And saw their savings evaporate in two stock market crashes? Who saw the house they worked for all their lives decline in value so much they can't even sell it so they can move into a one bedroom apartment to save money on the utilities and maintenance?

Yeah, some lucky old farts ended up retiring with golden parachutes but a lot of people who worked hard all their lives got the shaft.

We need a social safety net. We just don't need people who don't want to pay a dime in all their lives and then try to collect to the max when they get old.

Re: Why don't old people just get a job????
First we have no idea who you would consider 'old'.

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.
