YOUR NEIGHBORS HAVE NO”RIGHTS” TO DEPEND ON THE “BENEFITS” OTHER AMERICAN GET TAXED TO PAY FOR.
ABOUT TIME AMERICANS QUIT LIVING ON SUCH BENEFITS.
SOCIAL SECURITY IS EARNED-——
FOOD STAMPS & SECTION 8 ARE NOT.....
Only about 80% of the Social Security I might get would be earned.
Table 1. Social Security Benefit Formula for Workers Who Attain Age 62, Become Disabled, or Die in 2024
Factor Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME)
90% of the first $1,174 of AIME, plus
32% of AIME over $1,174 and through $7,078, plus
15% of AIME over $7,078
The first ~$12,000 of averaged FICA income is given an almost three-fold (90/32) advantage. It’s a sort of welfare benefit for people that have not earned a lot over their lifetime.
The public employees that typically make far more than $12,000/year just got thrown most of that welfare benefit too.
