Millennials, Gen X and Gen Z say the system needs reform, an exclusive Newsweek poll found, amid fears the benefits won’t exist when they come to retire
Younger generations in the U.S., including millennials and Gen Zers, are much more likely to believe that the Social Security system needs reforming than those in their 60s and 70s, according to a recent survey conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek.
…
Some 40 percent of respondents said they believe that the Social Security program currently pays out more to retirees than it is receiving in Social Security tax payments, while 26 percent disagreed with this statement.
Gen Zers (ages 18-26), millennials (ages 27-42) and Gen Xers (ages 43-58) were more likely than boomers (59 and older) to think that Social Security should be reformed.
No, its billionaires who absolutely hate paying any amount of taxes. But they have no problem bribing anyone to get their way.
We need guillotines.
I agree with the statement though a 4 day general strike would achieve our goals a lot quicker.
All we would need is 1 in 10 people and it would bring the country to its knees.
Wait for the United Auto Workers to line up all their contracts so they end at the same time. Sympathy strikes are illegal in the US because they’re too powerful. They’re legal in Nordic countries like Sweden and currently being used to wipe the floor with the richest man on Earth.
Hopefully this loophole will stay legal. But the great thing is, it doesn’t matter if it’s legal if enough people take part. No industry can just fire everyone at once.
I’m not really concerned about legal or illegal right now as most laws related to this are designed to always give the corporations the upper hand, despite their already massive advantage.
I am prepared to be arrested speaking out for the injustices the owner class have heaped on us the last 3 decades. I felt the same way at OWS and I already have a protest bag packed.
Lol. You’re trying too hard to be a badass.
No one gets arrested for “striking”. You can’t be forced to go to work. An “illegal strike” just means that you aren’t protected by labor laws and can be fired for it. Normal strike actions are protected by labor laws and you can’t be fired for that reason.
I suggest you stop trying to be tough and learn more about what you can do legally. Organizing a union is a lot harder and more useful than just randomly being arrested.
