Pensioners

Pensioner There are problems in the land and you are a pensioner, austerity is like a sweat horse blanket that doesn’t dry. Medicine old people needs are getting more expensive, and come to think of it isn’t old folks pension to high? Many young people think so as their old age is far away. Look at them the smug old bastards, have no mortgage to pay, they are no good consumers don’t buy furniture, and have savings in the bank. The new society doesn’t need people who believe in old values, what silly notion. So tax their savings and their medicine so they can begin to feel our pain. They had the best of times when work was plentiful, they lived at a time of copiousness, so let them try how it feels like to be young today. An old lady, on Zimmer frame, was robbed yesterday.

Jan, Interesting thoughts that you have penned..Some older Americans do have it good but some live on very little even so that some months the decision is made do I get my medicine or do I buy food to make it ..It isn't just a small portion of people but many.. I live in an area where there are many retired people and on the first of the month they eat out one week end then everything starts to die by the end of the month no traffic in Wal-Mart or grocery stores..Sara
