No, it was no play on words. I ask you to explain to me how it was different in actuality. Either by law, or how the accounts are structured or in any tangible way. Not what you were "told" but in actual practice.
You didn't do it (in fact did just the opposite). You couldn't do it and it can't be done, because of the simple fact there is no difference.
There isn't, wasn't and has never, ever, ever been a set aside account for persons' pensions in Social Security. It was always a tax and always a welfare check.
You want to get that check. That's understandable. Shaniqua wants her EBT card charged at the first of the month too.
But it's nothing belonging to you, it wasn't set aside for you, there's no account for you, you're just getting someone else' income tax payment or borrowings from the Chinese.
You don't have to be honest with someone on an internet board, but I hope you're at least honest with yourself on what you're actually getting.
Shaniqua is a dirtball, and was not promised a retirement fund.She has paid nothing into the system.
How would you like it if the government lied to you, in order to pay off Shaniqua for her vote?
How old are you?
I am honest with myself. If the government double crosses me, I will double cross it in spades.
You didn’t do it (in fact did just the opposite). You couldn’t do it and it can’t be done, because of the simple fact there is no difference.

Nice try.
You definitely do sound like a politician.
You probably think Shaniqua rates the EBT card because her contribution to society is, has been and will continue to be, to produce more mouths to feed.
You are probably against a Military Retirement check at 37 ‘because’ the troop has held a steady job for 20 years at or about the same rate of pay that you have been getting.
At least that is what the ‘studies’ seem to prove.
The only fallacy with the ‘studies’ is you work an 8 hour day and that troop is subject to 18-24 hr days more often than not.
Now I may (or may not) be an anomaly, but I am 72 and have yet to collect one day of unemployment, have never been on welfare, never used or drew food stamps, don’t owe for a college loan, been given a job or advancement because of my race, I just spent my life contributing to society in general, either by being in the Military, creating jobs and paying taxes and FICA.
For you to say that my collecting Social Security (after contributing for over 50 years) is parallel to Shaniqua getting issued food stamps, while your example may be true as far as words go, the comparison is ludicrous.
Like I said, Bill Clinton.
Depends on what ‘is’ means.
“It depends on how you define alone”.
