The Intergenerational Foundation, a left-leaning think-tank that aims to “promote fairness between generations”, says over-60s should be forced out of their homes to make room for younger people. What exactly is “fairness”? We’ve figured it out: if you have something that someone else doesn’t have but wishes to, “fairness” is code for their plan to use the political system to steal it from you.

EXCUSE ME?!
So a person pays for their home for 30 years through hard work and savings and a fool is going to tell that person they need to move out to put a lazy ass into their home?!
Excuse me?! How is this okay? How is this fair? What the heck is going on with the world where people actually have these thoughts, share these thoughts with others and others actually agree?
Eh. 60 years of life should be good enough for anyone.
Here's another thought: Why don't we force people who have fantastic health to donate blood and organs to those who need them? Just think: murdering 1 person for their organs could save...what........7 people? I think we should do that.
And yes, this entire post is supposed to be dripping in sarcasm.
England is soooooooooooooooo screwed up......It amazes me every day that it doesn't just collapse upon itself. Having been there a number of times I can see the changes, the liberal agenda there is moving forward at the speed of light. Speech control, Sharia Law, tossing out old people...Hey I just thought of something, wasn't there a little guy with a funny mustache across the water a few years back who also wanted to eliminate certain sections of the population? Control speech?..what was his name? Oh yea Schickelgruber..the little house painter guy....
The entire left agenda seems to be based in jealousy of what others have, and guilt from those who have it. If you check around, there aren't any regular, working middleclass people protesting everything-its always a fringe group wanting ever more stuff, but without being willing to actually work to EARN the stuff.
The problem is the same as in America, Just how long do normal folks keep their mouth shut and let the nuts have their say? I am getting really tired of the media telling me these are all just wonderful people who want a better country. These people are nothing but the lowest form of humanity that want to feed off of everyone else. I know people understand that but they need to speak up. That's why I like Herman Cain, He calls bullshit when he sees it. For the most part the rest of the Rhino (with a few exceptions) have their panties in a wad and don't have the courage to step up to the plate and swing. Meanwhile the liberals lie constantly, twist the facts and allow these hippie children to act like they are actually important to something. It's almost like the old joke about hitting the donkey in the head with a two by four to get his attention. Someone needs to apply said piece of lumber to the democrats so they stop farting and grazing and peeing on the porch.
Now, now, lets all be fair. Once we reach 60, we should just be sent to the soylent green factory. Imagine how much money we would save on SSI and Medicare benefits! All that money could be used to pay the under 40 baby factories to pump out another couple of welfare generations! Why, by 2025 we could be almost a completely welfare supported country! Then everything would be perfect! Free food, free housing, free cars, all courtsey of the aging baby boomers! Then all we would need is for some of the recipient class to volunteer to get off their fat, lazy asses and go work to keep the infrastructure and economy buzzing along.
OOPS! That is where the whole idea collapses in on itself.
Calm down Poppa. The article is from England, not here. And SSI is not for retirees, it is for younger disabled who have not worked enough to get SS Disability. That expense would be unchanged if they ground up everyone over 60. This is exactly what happened in Russia after the Bolshevik revolution. People were assigned a couple of rooms in a large house. Seems to me that if building homes is non-existent, perhaps that is where the solution lies-Get to Building!
And I guess it's only "Fair" that I keep my guns locked and loaded so I can represent 'my fainess'. Come and get some punk.
That's just it. All of these punks protesting in Europe don't have to worry about armed gun owners. I am waiting for that to happen here in the US. If 1 of these protests goes to someone's home, & they feel threatened & they exercise their 2nd Amendment rights in the name of self defence, it will really be on.
When they say "this is what democracy looks like", they are right, it's mob rules. A 5 on 1 fight where the 1 gets it's ass kicked is democracy. A 5 on 1 fight where the 1 has a gun to even things out is a republic.
Well said!!!
I'll be 60 next year, any liberal rosey lip fk that wants to try too force me out I would really love you to try. Seriously I would love that.
