RE: How do you feel about the Social Security check I get every month?
YOU PAID INTO SOCIAL SECURITY. Think of it as your simply receiving the money that was forcibly taken from you when you were working ( at least that was the message given to you and me when SS was conceived ).
Of course we all know that the money you put in was ALREADY SPENT. The money you are getting today in Social Security is simply TAKEN BY FORCE from CURRENT WORKERS. ( similar to what they did to you in your active years ).
Yeah. I paid into it for 48 years! OMG!
