Of course you do. Just like you take deductions for RE taxes and mtg interest. Did your wife ever teach at a public school and accrue benefits at the expense of the taxpayers.Do or will your parents receive SS benefits?Do or did your Grandparents?
Why is that you want to abolish only the programs that you’re not eligible for?

I have been promised SS too and paid in for 20 years before I had kids. I will probably pay in another 20 years and won’t see a dime of it when I retire. My deduction for 3 children probably comes close to what I pay in SS if you admit it all goes into the same pot of money. If it is seperate as some say, I pay over 6k a year to a “fund” that I won’t see.

You illustrate the problem nicely... the government has created a mandatory program to “help people” and they have spent everything they have and borrowed 16 trillion more.

Here we are on a conservative forum and you are giving me the stink eye to make sure I pay my fair share so you get your benefit.... sigh. Do you resent the tax deductions I get for 3 children and a mortgage? If so, the progressives won and you are on the wrong forum.
