I turn 62 this year. And all of this is precisely why I'm applying for benefits just as soon as I can. I'm not gonna give the do-nothings a chance to keep any of what I've got coming.

Respectfully, not one retired Social Security beneficiary "has it coming." You didn't pay anything in (your social security taxes went directly to pay elderly retirees) and you haven't "earned" anything now (your benefits will be paid by younger workers, not by money you have paid in.)

Social Security is nothing more than an intergenerational transfer payment. It is not a retirement program.
