The money you paid (or was stolen from you) did not vest you with any “rights” whatsoever. If it did then you have the right to reclaim every tax dollar you ever paid and so do the rest of us.
Read my above post. Our government has been very clear since the inception of SS that it was a social welfare program. Who promised you otherwise?
Just whom do you now propose to reclaim your stolen money from? The only way to get is to have this same totalitarian government take it from some else. Are you o’k with that?
Ya know what, I don't necessarily agree with SS. But it is an ENFORCED government program that until reformed, will take money from our checks.
The money was taken from my check, supposedly to support those who have retired before me. It was misused. That's really a shame that those behind me will now have to shore up the deficit that the government caused to be sure those that are retiring get a return on their “social security” deduction.
As far as other taxes go...to my knowledge none garnered from me state there will be a return at some point.
If people have an issue with social security...take it up with the government...not the folks that have been forced into mandatory payments all of their lives. And good luck to you.
When there are lies involved, then yes it is stealing.
And it wasn't clear from the beginning that this wasn't an insurance program with any rights to a benefit. It was clearly sold as an insurance plan, and folks fought for that right up to the Supreme Court.
Oh really! Where did you get that? From the beginning the intent has been to take money in small amounts to provide a fall back retirement benefit. Now you say it was just a f'n tax... so get over it? Well there will major hell to pay across this land if that ever happens. Are you OK with that?
