“...many getting it pay NO Federal income taxes at all...”

Except for FICA of course. But that’s NOT an income tax. It’s a payroll tax. And the difference to someone paying it is...?

FICA tax is what allows Americans to demand their SS benefits under the argument that ;"I paid in". But now many that pay no income tax are not even being forced to pay that FICA/SS Federal tax, yet being told that they are still entitled to SS by both parties.

Those people you reference are the first to claim 'they paid in' and that taxes should be raised on the rich to make sure they 'get it back'.
