Well if that is the case you should petition that no one recieves SSI because we did not earn it! Earn it? What I worked 52 hrs a week and it was taken from me. If I did not earn it to put in your pot who did! Why do I have a SSN that says I’m entitled to x amount! Evidently you did not earn it either! I would imagine you are no where near retirement and are so rich you will not need your SSI so send a letter to the SSI and terminate all your paid in and never recieve a dime!
That money could be used to support a few good illegals!

I wish I was rich. I also have to work many hours and have to pay the old-age tax. I am young enough, though, that I get to be part of the first generation since Roosevelt that won't get to retire... because the system is about to implode. You're probably a member of the last generation that will enjoy that luxury. Your're welcome.

And we boomers did not take care of the generation older than us? Did we not work to have witholding to support our elders?
You are above that and need not contribute to the system?
Plus the increase for medicaid and welfare where did that money come from. You act as though we as an older generation owe you for what was promised to us from the feds for fueling their add on programs. Sorry you feel that way but We paid our way!
This is not a gift from anyone! We as citizens did not make policy we only paid the system. So if you feel SSI is welfare I guess I will soon be on welfare!
