What percent of Freepers do you think are on S/S? I’m not yet but my husband is. My guess is that it’s 50%.
So what? I’m 62, went on SS because I want my money back. I don’t want my money going to illegal immigrants, drug addicts, drunks and so called disabled (if they are not). Look at the original SS ACT. It was intended for the person who PAID into it. NOT the children, wives of the workers nor for drug addicts, made-up diseases and it was SUPPOSED to draw interest in each “Insurance policy” which never happened. 50%? Probably more. Guess what? I still work and pay into SS, not because I HAVE to, but I figure if my get the bear’s share of my “investment” what I’m putting in now can go to the dreck.
I just can’t bring myself to speculate an answer to that. The motivation for posting was correcting the historical revision, as rewriting history is, imho, criminal.
The idea that aging conservatives are held at metaphorical gunpoint with SS infuriates me and drives me to NEVER draw payola from those that would manipulate me.
I won’t comment on others that rationalize their decision to do so...I have to go to work to support those that are drawing SS and don’t need it and those drawing other ‘benefits’ so they can support the economy with their spending. With the third of my resulting income I have to survive and figure out how to budget my time during the week to manage my personal life.
Ain’t ‘work’ grand? /s
