You are right, they did get screwed.
Inflation is a killer, and so is the taxes. But the sad thing is that just because you got screwed, that doesn’t make screwing everyone else right.
All the SS money you paid in (and all that I have) is gone. Long gone. I never expect to see any of it back.
Bet me. I'll get what this corrupt government confiscated from me, one way or another.
