Yes - absolutely true, but paying into the system doesn't buy you any equity in
It’s your money
Once the government seizes it, it is no longer your money. It WAS your money and now it's the government's and not even a thank you.
and somebody else is using it.
Well that is one of the two best things about government jobs - spending someone else's hard earned money, and the other is never ever having to admit when you're wrong.
Better hurry before the cart gets overloaded and all your money has been spent.
TOO LATE!! Not only has you money been squandered, but borrowed trillions mortgaging the future of the nation have been dumped down the rathole. PLUS except for social security + medicare these programs are MEANS TESTED. If you actually work for a living or have any savings, you can't get on the gravy train without committing fraud.
I think the poster was talking about entitlements such as disability, health insurance for the 12 yr old dog, the free phones and any other program out there. It’s NOT too late but it will be soon when the wagon overloads.
Actually there is a form of "means testing" on SS retirement benefits. Since my taxable non-SS income is more than the government thinks I deserve, part of my SS retirement benefits are also taxed.
