What exactly is it that makes someone infallible or a saint just because they reach the age of 65? Why is it that when someone reaches this age, they're automatically entitled to free money from the taxpayers? People act like old people are infallible because they're "seniors". What the hell does their "seniority" have to do anything? Sure, in their younger days, some were good people (e.g. military vets who actually deserve the benefits they receive), but a lot were bastards then, they're bastards now, and they're in the situations they're in due to their own poor choices (pissing all of their money away instead of saving for retirement, living unhealthy lifestyles, etc.). So why is it I, the taxpayer have to carry people on my back just because they reach the magical age of sixty-five? I have to subsidize them through social security so they can go down to the casinos in AC, Vegas, Philadelphia Park, etc so they can **** away my money in the slot machines? (I have to pay for their retirement while at the same time saving for my own because by the time I reach retirement age, SS will be insolvent.) I have to subsidize them through medicare because they pissed all their money away, smoked, drank, and ate unhealthily, or better yet when they go to a doctor just because they feel lonely and want someone to talk to? Why the hell, is it my problem? If they can't help themselves let their children help, or private charities. Why do I have to carry them on my back just because they lived to be 65? Discuss.

So when you're 65, you're going to refuse Medicare and buy your own private insurance?

You are so disrespectful. When your 65, I hope you don't expect any young person to take care of your crippled mug if you don't even have the decency to respect others who are older and wiser than you. You reap what you sow.

They paid into the system their entire working lives. How do you figure you are subsidizing them?
I certainly don't think people over 65 (or anyone else) are infallible, but I do see the line items on my paycheck that says "Social Security and Medicare tax withheld" which some one might actually expect at some point.
If you expect no one else to take it, you best be first in line to say you don't want the money you paid in back.
It will be interesting when the OP gets old, I wonder if people will troll that he is alive and kicking.
So when you're 65, you're going to refuse Medicare and buy your own private insurance?
I highly doubt it. First in line is probably more like it.
