The janitor and the teacher in the file room having a heart to heart and the teacher says, "What really chaps my ass is these kids are going to take care of me." and the janitor says, "I wouldn't count on it."
This was back when everybody knew how Social Security works. The current generation of workers pays for that last one. This is why it's so important to see to it that the next generation is paid well and it's also why there has been a concerted effort on the part of the powers that be to make sure they aren't. They've hated Social Security since it was created and somebody figured the best way to kill it was to pay dirt and then tell everyone the government was stealing from them. The Right Wing claims Social Security is a "Nanny State" program where the government doesn't trust you to hold on to your own money for when you retire so it takes it from you against your will and holds it for you and pays it back in dribs and drabs assuming you live that long. If you die before you're 65 they just keep it for themselves. There's always the "take it from you at gunpoint" line tossed in too.
Trying to tell them it doesn't work that way is like talking to a brick wall and trying to explain that there are housewives who have never worked a day in their lives at an actual paycheck type job that get Social Security just makes them hate women. Then there's trying to explain survivors benefits, how your wife and kids will be cared for if you die makes them claim churches already do that, or DID until the government butted it.
Just makes you want to qualify them for disability,...and create a work of art...
