Then they ought to stop calling it a kind of retirment system, and just call it what it is - income redistribution. If the people who have paid into SS for years, die before receiving much, if any, benefit, then it can hardly be called “social security”.
It’s just a colossal ripoff, like every other government program.
It was never a retirement system. In the beginning it was just “a little to help” if you happened to live longer than most people.
Funny how “a little to help” now costs me almost as much in taxes as my income taxe. And medicare is closing fast. And neither has the tax deductions of the regular income tax.
There will probably be a tax revolt at some time. When? I dunno. But I strongly believe it will happen.
