On 11-21-23, the Washington Post penned an Opinion by Catherine Rampell | "Why we’re borrowing to fund the elderly while neglecting everyone else", and on that date the Enlightened Prisoner responded thus:
Ms. Rampell would have you believe that pensioners enjoy a one-way street of monetary benefits it seems. Well, Ms. Rampell, consider this. Those government pensions when combined with other sources result in pensioners paying, that's right, federal income taxes. And don't forget the percentage of monthly deduction from that government pension that goes. that's right, into Medicare and prescription drug plans.
And most of all recall that pensioners enjoy travel, food, and entertainment rather than sitting around growing old, so they make great contributions, that's right, to federal, state, and local sales, excise, and sur tax coffers.
Doesn't sound like much of a free ride to me. Kind of like those who protest the free ticket immigrants get. Who are also making payments, that's right, to those same sources. Get a clue, cry-baby.
