Social Contract fairy tales. Once upon a time, employers showed their appreciation for workers by providing for their old age. (Man 1: I give the company my life.) (Man 2: Hey... thanks!) At age 65, retired workers collected a "pension" as well as "social security." They lived out their days in warm, boring places, and their children took their old jobs. (Man 3: They took $300 out of my paycheck for social security.) (Woman: Don't be mad it's for your grandfather, who you love!) (Man 4: What a quaint story.) (Man 5: I'm tired of working- please let me die!) (Man 6: Getcher ass to work. Slacker)
