“No I won’t be seeing everything I put in.”

BINGO...

You are correct.

If the amount you paid in (plus the employer’s portion) over the last 30 odd years had been invested and not pi$$ed away by the crooked politicians, your account would be worth millions now.

Your money and everyone else’s money was stolen.

You are soooooooooo correct. I could retire at 50 with a few million but now I will be lucky to retire at 65 with maybe enough to live a decent life. No millions. The .gov stole my FREEDOM.

If they try to cut me out of the pittance they will graciously give me in a year or two I will go postal. I won’t place blame based party affiliation I will go after my representative for not looking out for my interests.

If wishes were horse, beggars would ride. What might have been and all that. Previous generations took a dollar in/dollar out system and messed it up from the beginning. Now we are expected to pay for it. The guy says “Its mine because, if I had invested that money I’d have some much more now if I hadn’t willingly handed it over to the SS admin”. Thats like saying if I had put my money in Microsoft back in 88 instead of Enron I’d have so much money now, so I am entitled to something. Enron equals the government. And nobody is entitled to squat if I have my say.
