—same experience for wife and I 15 years ago in Las Vegas—
—of 60 some people in the SS office, 6 of us were Caucasians of my age (62) and the rest were mostly Hispanic or Oriental , with children in tow—
Income tax and SS tax and all the other taxes we are required to pay is to me an IMPLIED contract..
you pay/you can expect so and so...
you pay SS and Medicare taxes and you can expect a living SS and Medicare payback....
but no...
we older white working Americans are told almost daily that there is a shortfall, you have to work longer, your Medicare will only cover this, etc....
THE ILLEGAL PROBLEM IS A FINANCIAL PROBLEM TO THOSE OF US WHO HAVE PAID AND PAID ALL OUR LIVES...
they come in here, and they immediately claim their 62 and don't have a BC..."lost" in the old country...
they're kids are hyperactive...their husbands alcoholic...
wing bang there goes our SS and Medicare taxes..
