Now I read the very same that crosses your path. I ask the same question, what have they done with our investments over all of these years when it is now pay back time and not on the 'dime' of the younger generation? I guess they have absconded with the investments haven't they?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-65748679356841744482014-04-03T02:01:46.315-03:002014-04-03T02:01:46.315-03:00Speaking as one who is "nearing the end of li...Speaking as one who is "nearing the end of life's journey", this phraseology which I often hear, that there are fewer and fewer workers to support me, is a little odd. You count all the past payments I made when I was working with the intent of supporting myself later as, instead, supporting those retired back then when I made the payments. Right? I get no credit for supporting myself with past SS tax and pension contributions.<br /><br />And you also discount all the income and other taxes I still pay, even though I'm no longer a worker, some of which presumably go to supporting other retirees.<br /><br />So, it's not just current workers who support current retirees.Gregory Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11293280236115306205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-76912820601811084222014-03-31T15:28:07.623-03:002014-03-31T15:28:07.623-03:00Very good video.

Those danes have a healthy view of things.<br /><br />So sometimes were told the earth can't sustain an ever increasing world population, and other times were told decreasing birth rates and an aging population is bad for everything.<br />So what's the answer, redistribute and balance the population or redistribute and balance everything else, like wealth, food, water, etc.?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
