Young workers being taken advantage of

Young workers are really being taken advantaged of. By the time they retire, Social Security and Medicare will be cut way back. In the meantime, they must carry the load for the people using Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, Head Start, housing programs and government union pensions.

Even though they are healthy, they must pay high health care premiums to provide increased benefits for other people. Energy rates will go sky high if the government passes cap and trade. The federal government is starting to plan for a large value added tax to cover their huge increase in spending.

Thank goodness young workers are naive - or else they would be taking over the tea parties.
