Political Power of Senior Citizens

I am relieved to know that there are others who at least recognize the possibility of a problem. I go to the polls to try and make a difference for my children, yet time and again I find my vote counts for little or nothing. I hope this article inspires others to see that they can make a difference, just as seniors have. They are only 12% of the population and yet they know how to get what they want.

I don’t believe that anyone is entitled to more Social Security than he or she paid into the system. I also believe that benefits should be linked to need.
