3. It's the American solution to child-labor
Child-labor is too toxic for most "patriotic" capitalists (expect, of course if they are illegal aliens).
But we spin it as "productive seniors", working minimum wage jobs for a slice of health care and a supplement to their "entitlement".
...and the winner is??
The "patriotic" capitalist!

4. Cheap labor cons are salivating over the millions of desperate, hungry and
willing to work cheap or starve baby boomers to exploit as cheap labor.
