I can tell you aren’t on SS. After you have been forced to pay in for 42 years come back and tell me you don’t want the payment you were promised. Social security is not voluntary. The American workforce are not a bunch of parasites. What you receive is not enough to live on anyway. It has to be supplemented by additional income.
The folks on Social security at this time need to be left alone.
Social Security needs to be reformed or done away with and privatized retirement accounts substituted. But it needs to be phased in starting with about age 45 and under. Those are the people who have time to build up some other type of retirement account.
kabar, time to come over here and rip those of us getting Social Security benefits for just wanting to get back what we paid in.
I am 54 and have paid into the system since age 16. THERE WILL BE NO SS FOR ME. Dang the people that think they should be able to live off SS. IT WAS NOT DESIGNED FOR THAT.
Our country is going to go down if we all don’t stop being so selfish.
