What are you talking about? If you are referring to Social security, I have been paying into it my whole life, & there may not even be my OWN money in there when I get there!
I don't ask or get any more than what I put in! I paid for your parents to get it!

After the government raided the Social security program it proceeded to create trillions in debt. If your generation doesn't pass some legislation to get back all your wasted taxes ( by taxing the wealthiest baby boomers. They are a selfish bunch who don't give a damn about future generations.) you will be left holding a bag of overwhelming debt. Not only will this consume your benefits but with the devaluation of the dollar, it will take many more dollars to cover future expenditures. We went from multi billion dollar budgets to multi trillion. What next?

Considering that the Baby Boomers put more money (in adjusted dollars) per capita than any other generation into Social Security and every other government program, is it "liberal" of them to want their own money back?

The problem is not the baby boomers fault, we have paid into the system for many years, the problem is our fearless leaders have used that money as a slush fund to cover the short falls of government spending

Yeah...right (heavy sarcasm)
If anything we will be paying more tax (Dem or Rep as Pres.) than at anytime previously in US history.
The govt. is going to pay for those entitlement programs up to the point where the govt. is no longer solvent, then look at you and I to make up the shortfall thru taxation.
Better start practicing by bending over and using a broomstick, because the govt. is going to give us a howizter enema in about 25 years.

The Boomers aren't bankrupting anything. Your president is doing that on his own.
