Just because I’ve been defrauded of my means to provide illegitimate benefits to others doesn’t give me the right to see others defrauded in turn for my benefit.

People’s circumstances aren’t enumerations of power.

Then ask for the money that you paid into Social Security be returned to you. Let me know what they say.

May I respectfully ask you what actual consequences you have therefore taken / you recommend that others take?

Retiring early? Waiting, and retiring late? Retiring, but never actually applying for the benefits due you under the system?

I respect your standpoint, but would very much appreciate hearing what you believe one should then actually do about it.

Regards,

I added to commas to your post. Does it change your intended meaning? If not, the commas add clarity and make it easier to grasp.

Very pithy and too the point. Well done. Perhaps you will be warmed up this winterery day by the flames.

“Just because I’ve been defrauded of my means, to provide illegitimate benefits to others, doesn’t give me the right to see others defrauded in turn for my benefit.”

I so agree with your posts. SS is a big scam and welfare. How to prove it? If I pay in half as much as you do you get twice as much? No. Then it’s welfare and a redistribution scam. Anyone who advocates lifting the cap is a scoundrel since the diminished return on the dollars paid in are pathetic.

Separate the wheat and the chaff for conservatives on this on topic. You pass 100%!
