Yeah I like the way that seniors always get the break at the expense of the working. Seniors get back far more in social security then they ever paid in while young people working today to pay for it will probably not receive a dime. This so called benefit is not free. The younger folks who receive no benefit from this are the ones who have to pay for it. So what this does is make it even harder for younger working folks to pay for there own prescription medicine. Recently there was a tax break that only went to those with children. A single young person in America today is really getting the life sucked out of them.

I have my mother's SS benefit statement. In her entire 30-year working career, she paid a grand total of $1023 into social security, and not a dime into Medicare.

Until she passed away recently, she received a total of around $150,000 in SS benefits, and a similar amount in Medicare benefits.

The numbers will be reversed for the rest of us.

This ponzi scheme would be illegal if you or I tried it.
