I lost my young adult life so I could set myself up for the future.
Some of us aren't dealt a good hand so we have to work harder to get where we are. And I'm damned proud to be where I am. Don't try to take it from me so someone can live free.
With that said. I would gladly pay extra to care for the elderly and retired (who have paid their dues) so that they can take a well deserved break for their remaining years.
But we need to educate folks about responsibility and accountability and that they aren't entitled to anything.
