This is going to be upsetting.
The truth usually is :)
and I'm 62...not collecting...still need to keep working...
I have 0 exemptions on my paycheck and also "donate" an additional $200 a paycheck just so we can pay our tax bill...
we got no breaks in paying for our kids college....we gave big weddings and nice weddings presents...we support our adult kids with a little kick-in money now and then...we've bought cars for them and paid their insurance thru college...
we have gotten NOTHING from anybody....
we are the most conservative voting people in the world but we can't out vote the govt class or the gimmedat class...
the people who have benefitted from SS the most?....the elderly who btw hold much of the wealth of this country...their benefits are outrageous compared to the average citizen, because they paid relatively very little in....
me though...I've paid and paid and paid...
now we're the bad guys because we followed all the rules...
right....
