I meet the profile of a Hillary voter. I haven't done a days work since October of 2007. Now you could argue that I've earned my Social Security, Medicare, and Pension, and I would sure as Hell agree with you, but I also know that all of the goods and services that I consume everyday in my reasonably comfortable life is being produced by the work of others, younger people for the most part, many of whom are being royally screwed by the system so much that they stand much less of a chance than I did.

Beat me to retirement by three months. Sure beats working.
We don't earn Social Security or Medicare which are pay as you go schemes implemented by the ruling class to keep the headcount at bay. Otherwise, you nailed it.
