That's when America was up and coming, climbing to the highest standard in the world. The last few decades that's ALL changed.
This is 2015, where government has looted middle America, where tens of thousands of jobs where off shored to cheap labor land, where jobs if you have one are not secure, the wages have been stagnant and substandard for decades, and private sector America had their retirement, investments, pensions, and medical benefits reduced, chopped up, slashed or all together eliminated.
And all this was aided and abetted by a corrupt govenrment who decided to loot the American treasure for foreign adventures and supporting tens of millions of illegal aliens.
You better believe millions of American's lives depend on their SS pittance. Trust me here.
I know people do today, that’s not what I said, I said, it was never INTENDED to pay out at all..... The law was designed to help widows and orphans, it was never intended to ever pay out to workers/retirees at its core. That was a promise to get it passed, but not what it was intended for.
What it has become is something completely different from what it was intended/written as.
Americans should depend on it; they’ve paid into it for decades...
