I never voted for any socialists and I didn’t ride in on a horse, thanks.
Without enough financial smarts to really discuss this, I did want to say that I have been retired several years and get a $752.00 SS check each month. It’s nearly all I have, after working 35 years - a lot of them years when women didn’t make as much money as men did - and I feel like it is owed to me because I paid it in, as I think most would have to agree. Like many women raising their kids alone while working full time (four legal kids born while married, in the long-ago days when it was still popular/acceptable to have kids!), I really didn’t have anything extra for investing or saving. I made sure I would own my final home with a mortgage so small I could handle it on SS - so I did that right. I didn’t bite on the drug coverage scam; can’t afford it and don’t want it. I have told all my kids - the oldest is 50 - not to count on SS being there for them, to make what arrangements they can NOW. So don’t talk about pulling the rug out from under me because YOU are mad. And yes, this is why the broke system isn’t going to be fixed quickly, easily, or very well. But when my generation dies off, have at it.
well cry me a river you lazy bum.
“It’s nearly all I have, after working 35 years”
you ever heard of a savings account?
read my lips I DO NOT CARE! i have paid for twenty years and will have to pay for the next thirty. i hate everyone on SSi, i hate everyone who voted for SSi, i hate the whole system because it is screwing me. giving the chance i will kick every last one of you deadbeats to curb. it is a SCAM and it needs to be stopped.
the government has no right to take that money from me and give it to you. if you believe it does then you are on the wrong forum.
