It’s a big distortion of statistics to talk about retired people in the same category as actual unemployed people or people who are on public assistance and don’t work.

Not really. No. They collect Social Security and we are paying for it through taxes.

I paid into SS for fifty years. Now I am paying taxes on my returns.

Really? I was under the impression that I worked for 50 years and paid taxes and now the government is giving me back MY money I worked my ass off for. Are you the one sending that me that monthly check?
