SS has always been a pay as you go system. Your generation agreed to pay oldsters income by taking your money and paying them. There is no investment, no gains for SS paid in, it all goes into the general fund and is spent. Eventually the young will see what a terrible deal this is for their own investments and future. But oldsters vote in huge numbers so not likely we will see them voting to reduce the stealing from their kids and grandkids to pay them. There should never have been a federal method that passed constitutional muster to take from one citizen and pay another for any reason unless they were actually working and performing a service for the government.
Do you have ANY IDEA how many people are on Disability SS it is astronomical, with their EBT cards, housing vouchers, and on and on this is the BS that needs to STOP!! Now we have a couple of million that just crossed the border that will be on the government dole also!! This country has gone WAY PAST the point of no return!! I don’t think Trump can fix this any longer another two years of this, I keep looking at Venezuela what a wealthy country it WAS!! Scares the hell out of me!!
“There should never have been a federal method that passed constitutional muster to take from one citizen and pay another for any reason unless they were actually working and performing a service for the government.”
Exactly! ‘We The People’ have been being PLAYED by Mother Government since 1912 when Income Taxes were passed into law.
It’s been every wo/man for herself since then. And females couldn’t even VOTE until 1920. The Suffragette Hike in 1912 started the ball rolling, and you can’t tell me that had nothing to do with husbands bringing home less of a paycheck when every PENNY was accounted for in the Family Budget back then!
