Thanks for sharing this. Interestingly, my parents have quite the similar outlook - and they're working/middle class depending on how much my dad's services are in demand. They're both drawing Social Security as well. But here's what gets me: my parents are literally hippie motorcyclists. One of my earliest memories was hanging out at the club house...the Outlaws club house. But now, in their mid 60s...they're practically establishment types. They somehow trust the government, trust corporations...it's exasperating. I think they've just gotten comfortable and don't feel inclined to challenge anything any longer.
