When I was selling I had my taxes confiscated and in 1997 the Feds took over $350,000 of my cash. I've run the numbers and if I were permitted to take my own money back from the feds in a lump sum, they would have had to pay me $ 3,300,000 instead they keep my money and I get about $ 2 grand a month

But isn't that the point of the article, to show how dependent the system makes us on government payouts, especially those, who if left alone, could have done without the government disbursements. Yes, if they hadn't taken so much of your money in the first place, then you wouldn't need the SS payouts-that's what should make your blood boil.

Egads, you sound like one of those Hollyweird socialist pukes who thinks they should be the ones who get to decide to keep their money and who shouldn’t. Fact of the matter is, it’s not up to you, pal, to say whether someone “deserves” benefits from a fund they paid into (and were forced to do so), no matter how many resources they have now amassed. FR is slipping.
