Great article, thanks.
They take 40-50% of people’s income and their families have to do without. Give you an example, when you buy a loaf of bread at the store, it’s been taxed over 30%,cars,30%,phone bill 30%, cable bill tax 30%,gas and electric.
I could go on and on and on put all of these charges are hidden from the public
Now they want to take some of social security away from people.
The government already took the cost of food and energy out of the CPI basket so they don't have to give the high cost of living to people to keep up with the cost of inflation.
Before they make any changes to social security, they should make changes to the money we give out to the (United Nations and all other foreign aide.) Then the social security comes out of my check which is 8%. My company pays the other 8%.
If the government would have let me kept my money, I could have invested it at 4-5% a year, I would have over a million dollars.
What does the government do with all that money that people don’t collect? Like my sister, that worked all of her life and never collected one social security check.
She died at 55 with no children
