But this is the group of old geezers that voted themselves YOUR PAYCHECK 30 years ago kiddies!

I hear more and more young citizens complaining about paying into SS when all they hear is that is will be broke 20 years before they ever retire.

I have said it many times- I will GLADLY give up any claim on what I ‘paid into’ social security if I can keep the 15% myself, for as long as I choose to remain working. (tax-free)

I heard the same -- in the mid 1960s.

Never thought SS would be around, but it still is.

I paid in for 40 years, so it doesn't bother me one iota to get that monthly check.

We ALL said the same thing 30 years ago kiddy.

Your children will probably say the same thing when they get a job.
