That’s funny. I paid in and now I’m getting back monthly. Not the best return and I don’t like the 12.4% tax as it is now. Wasn’t always.

I can also work more on the side without losing anything. And a new big tax credit.

And it’s only my supplement income.

I paid in and now I’m getting back monthly.

You paid in to somebody else's SS check, and now other people are paying in to make your SS check.

It's a ponzi scheme, or generational theft.

It's NOT an investment, so the term "return" has no real applicability to it. You get whatever Congress decides to give you.

And it’s only my supplement income.

So you're not stupid. That's good.
