The old farts that have paid into this system their whole life so they get all defensive and oppose any efforts to reform for fear of losing benefits that they have paid for.2. The young pups that can't see any way that they will ever see a dime that is being taken from them so it is just another tax to them.  The program is going to be extremely unsustainable when retirees outnumber the workforce so why shouldn't we let the program become optional?  I mean we are going to just have to print money either way so let's at least try and create a light at the end of the tunnel for the younger generations while letting the older generation live out what they have been sold their whole life.</blockquote>
