Perhaps you should buy a calculator and learn to use it. Once you’ve learned to use it, compare the yields of SS versus self-managed investments, and get back to us. If after this you still support Social Security, you have a mental illness.
Your the one with mental illness. I am not giving Social Security for myself. I am giving it for my Great Grandmother, four Grandparents and eventually my parents. What don’t you understand about that????
You wouldn’t contribute to their support yourself if there was no “Social Security” program?
Your parents can’t help support their parents and grandmother?
They can’t save for their own retirements?
