The least the Feds could do would be to return his stolen money, with interest, and issue an apology, don't you think?

And just where is that money going to come from?

The fact is that the people from whom SS "contributions" were taken have a right to their money, but no more right than anyone else from whom money would have to be taken to pay it back. The most equitable thing to do, therefore, would be to provide partial repayment of the money that was illegitimately taken, much in the way that a bankruptcy court awards partial payments of debts to creditors. I don't know what formulae would be most equitable, but something involving partial repayment is the only thing that would seem fair to me.

That burden is on the thief who stole it in the first place, but I have a few suggestions.

Cut spending by abolishing welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, the Department of Education, the EPA, the war on drugs, and all other unconstitutional programs.

Abolish the IRS and institute a simple tax system that collects enough to provide for national defense and not much else.

Send me back the stolen money in the form of gold bars and let me handle the rest:)
