All money rightfully belongs to the government. Any money you have is because of government’s generosity.
Well duh.
Social Security has ALWAYS been an entitlement program.
FYI that policy includes recipients of any Federal Health Benefits program, it is not limited to Social Security or Medicare recipients.
Think of our brand new Mexican citizens.
All of them, get social security benefits NOW and Medicare,
How much have they paid in?
I have gotten into fights with Kroger staff who issue points rewards resulting from EBT card purchases. The points are for gasoline discounts. The clerks say it’s company policy to issue the rewards points to EBT / Food Stamp users. I suppose Kroger is violating the law.
That’s the collapse date of SS Disability, not Social Security that is referenced in the article.
It’s all just Cloward-Piven.
All your money are belong to us.

I don't forward it just to see if the percentage has dropped the next time I get it.
Per Fox News and Mark Levin on Jan 7, 2015, the new predicted date for the collapse of the Social Security system is toward the end of 2016.
i.e. if SS collapses, there will be national “every man for himself” mayhem.
Only those on the disability version.
Well duh.
Social Security has ALWAYS been an entitlement program.
Well do not worry. Even a payment from an insurance company is labeled a “benefit.”
As for “entitlement,” I do not like that term either. But it just means tax dollars that the government HAS TO pay out. It is more about the obligations of the government than it is about you.
Yes you paid in. Technically, though, the money is not entirely tied to what you paid in like it would be in a retirement account. It is more like insurance where you might get much more than you paid, or less.
As for reward cards, the store offers rewards as an incentive (I assume). When the government pays, all discounts are calculated into the cost and so no rewards can be added.
The author’s assumptions are WAY OFF. First off, “compounded monthly”? I have not seen any savings plan that is compounded monthly. Almost all savings accounts are compounded annually and only at 2 to 5 percent depending on the economy.
Sad, but true. In a sense we are entitled to it once a certain age is reached, so maybe that’s where the idea comes from. Can a person receive SS benefits if they have never worked for an employer who deducts this from the paychecK? Self-employed people are not entitled to it - so most set up private IRA accounts for their retirement. We never get a return on what we paid into SS - they continue to rip off the American public with what they “entitle” you to receive each month. And, yes, it is a ponzi scheme.
I recommend switching pharmacies.
Women and minorities hardest hit.
And I mean that seriously. If you're not making preparations now, you're already behind the curve. I'm 34 years old. I don't expect to make it to retirement age.
