Again, you just paid a tax. Moreover, you knew they were lying. So, what is the point? There is no way to compensate you or me without taking it from someone else. This is like demanding that Madoff keep his ponzi scheme going so I can get my money back.
I’d settle for flaying alive the politicians responsible for perpetuating this scam, but we won’t get even that satisfaction.
Again, it doesn’t matter if it’s called a tax or a contribution. The government collected money for a purported purpose. Recongizing this as a lie does not dismiss the obligation made to the pople that contributed their whole lives and depend on the money to live.
If I could cause the government to cease and desist any form of social security permanantly I would do so. I would also make sure that every dime of money collected for social security be returned as that is the fair thing to do.
