If SSI was privatized as Goldwater proposed in 1964, we would all be retiring as multi millionaires now. SSI is a generational Ponzi scheme. All Democrats should be jailed for fraud. Hell, we should dig up FDR and put him in jail too.
- Democrat voting welfare recipients who come from families that have never worked or contributed into the system and are third or fourth generation welfare recipients
- Illegal aliens who are defrauding our system with false asylum claims
- Billions for Ukrainian bureaucrats and pensioners to float the Ukraine economy so we can continue to pour in even more billions of military support to even more totally destroy Ukraine .
Bump.

Too bad Dirtbag Durbin will never see it.

I wonder how many times she voted for him.
Great effort. Too bad Durbin won’t read a word of it.
“I have been paying Social Security taxes”
Yes.
As adjudicated by SCOTUS, it is a TAX.
It’s not YOUR money in YOUR account.
Goobermint can do, and has done, with it as they please, and give you what piddling remuneratios them deem fit for lowly peasants.
Better idea? Promote, vote on, and pass a time frame to end the Ponzi Scheme.
You keep your money. I keep my money.
Charles Ponzi, Bernie Madoff, and Samuel Bankman-Fried are amateurs compared to what Congress has done with Social Security.
i received my first payment this month. I have been paying into it for fifty years.
Great post!
She nailed it.
“My Social Security payments, and those of millions of other Americans, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades...”
That’s not how it works. It’s a tax and all revenue goes into that great, insatiable federal leviathan. It’s not a “lock box.”

Dick Durbin is one of the biggest POS in our state. He’s a despicable person and I’m ashamed to be from a state that has him as a senator.
Just for the record, I can’t find any confirmation that this was a real message from a real person (Patty Nye), but well-stated, nonetheless.
