What gets on my nerves is the number of freepers who have paid into social security -- and are "entitled" to get money back. Or they've worked for the government -- and are "entitled" to their pension.

There are a lot of people HERE who are getting government checks -- and they're just gettign what's OWED to them -- and they don't understand how big the "entitlement" problem really is. It's different for them, you see.

You think when citizens are forced to give up their hard earned dollars on the promise it will be returned decades later, they should not expect their money to be returned? You consider that an entitlement, when they paid for it in advance?

Do you think the same of private investment plans and 401ks?

Hummmmm..........

I pay in....and it's mandatory. I shouldn't expect to get my money back????

Top it off with I pay DOUBLE because I'm self employed....and it's MANDATORY. And I shouldn't expect to get MY money back????

What's your logic?

Are you making the case that FReepers need to give up on the Social Security?

So what is your recommendation? Should I send my SS deposits back to the Treasury and not file any med claims on Medicare?
