I hope retirees save something out of their social security checks. The system is going to crash and they’ll be awful hungry. It ticks me off to see money taken out of my paychecks that I’ll never see back.

That is true of all taxes. The difference with SS is the deceitful language used to mislead people about what is nothing but another tax. Nobody “paid in” anything, no one has an “account”, and there is no trust fund. We just pay taxes, and the pols send the money wherever it suits them.
A next to impossible task. :-(
