They tend to get paid out way more than they paid in. Boomers basically paid the benefits of the Silent Generation, which was tiny because there weren’t a lot of babies being born during the Great Depression and WWII. The Boomers are by far the largest generation in US history and we’re basically experiencing demographic collapse. The math doesn’t work how it used to

If they worked so hard and have so much of the country’s wealth then what the fuck do they all need my money for dude. When we’re 65 and done working odds are we’re not going to be getting paid out like 300% in real dollars relative to what we put in. Which is the reality for Boomers on average

Right, they are overpaid. They worked during the peak of pensions and such. Poor boomers 100% need the money, but wealthy boomers should be cut of. It was just in their contract when they worked and it is extremely difficult to change that.

If they’re the largest demographic aren’t they also the largest demographic that paid into Social Security?
