The current 'old' also inherited a built environment and a great deal of basic research
The current generation of pensioners paid towards the previous generation of pensioners without quibbling.
It’s only millennials who take it all for granted and don’t want to pay what’s fair.
- glangdale 8y agoOK, now you're just ranting and/or making stuff up. It's not actually true that the current generation of pensioners paid towards the previous generation, as social security taxation didn't really exist back then or was trivial in comparison in terms of #s of dependents and amount paid out. Every generation takes stuff for granted, true. Also, they play their music too loud and disregard the eternal verities (c.f. ancient Greeks).
