Yep, us deluded conservatives who paid 50 years into a government forced savings plan and are now collecting the annuities ( which I am not but spouse just started at age 70 plus is still working and still paying into the system)
But I applaud your decision to not take social security or Medicare for yourself and encourage you to convince as many 6o+ age citizens to do the same
” collecting the annuities”
It is not an annuity. It’s an entitlement - in other words and hand into someone else’s wallet who actually did the work to earn the money.

It was a tax. It was not, and is not a “savings plan”.
You are taking someone else’s money - at least be honest with yourself when you are taking it.
I’m not telling you not to take it. Of course you (and half of all Americans) are going to take the money. That’s easy. Whether you consider yourself “conservative” or not - you’ll take it just like everyone else.
It’s much harder to be honest about who’s money it actually is.
I understand that, and I expect you to be angry about it.
Still, you should be honest about it.
