Social Security is bankrupt; it has been bankrupt from the beginning. You can whine and cry all you like, you won’t change the facts. Every penny being given to a current Social Security recipient is coming directly from the paycheck of someone currently working. You have no ‘social security account’. There is no trust fund. There is only ripping off the people who currently work for pay, and giving to the people who used to work for pay. Back when you were working didn’t “pay into” a “social security account”. You paid directly into the pocket of a social security recipient.
Charles Ponzi was imprisoned and deported for arranging a similar scheme. Social Security is worse than Ponzi: Ponzi’s schemes were voluntary. Social Security is armed robbery.
You are correct. I was robbed for 30 years in order for someone else to receive their SS.
