But I've paid into Social Security and Medicare all my working life and now that I'm getting to retirement age, I damn well want to collect it back! IF the government had been a responsible caretaker of those monies, there would be no problem; however, the idiots in Washington have borrowed and STOLEN those funds for years. That money is mine! -- part of it -- and I by God want what was promised to me!

If they try to take Social Security and/or Medicare away, there will be such a revolt by the Baby Boomer group which is STILL a powerful Political Force that they won't know what hit them!
