A majority of millennials think that the Social Security program is making more payments than it receives taxes, according to an exclusive Newsweek poll.

Millennials, Gen X and Gen Z say the system needs reform, an exclusive Newsweek poll found, amid fears the benefits won’t exist when they come to retire

Younger generations in the U.S., including millennials and Gen Zers, are much more likely to believe that the Social Security system needs reforming than those in their 60s and 70s, according to a recent survey conducted by Redfield & Wilton Strategies on behalf of Newsweek.

…

Some 40 percent of respondents said they believe that the Social Security program currently pays out more to retirees than it is receiving in Social Security tax payments, while 26 percent disagreed with this statement.

Gen Zers (ages 18-26), millennials (ages 27-42) and Gen Xers (ages 43-58) were more likely than boomers (59 and older) to think that Social Security should be reformed.

      Lol. You’re trying too hard to be a badass.

      No one gets arrested for “striking”. You can’t be forced to go to work. An “illegal strike” just means that you aren’t protected by labor laws and can be fired for it. Normal strike actions are protected by labor laws and you can’t be fired for that reason.

      I suggest you stop trying to be tough and learn more about what you can do legally. Organizing a union is a lot harder and more useful than just randomly being arrested.
