Caliph Baraq is 61, so if he’s getting SS, it’s disability.

trump did a virtual pantsing of them, followed by a wedgie...
first being to pull down the trousers of the target in public and the second being the pulling up of said target’s undershorts... resulting in an unintentional and somewhat painful “thong” effect on the recipient...

done in public to a target it is painful and permanently humiliating ... done to a bunch of targets publicly, to multiple targets it is permanently humiliating and causes them them continuous PTSD ever time they see or hear him... or think they might.

we call this TDS - similar to TSD Trump Stress Disorder... both are incurable. If I did not like Donald Trump for any other reason... that would be enough for me... The obsessive disorder he triggers was worth the price of admission.

If he could just find a way to blame COVID and the vaccine on them as well, fair or not... it would be quite delicious...

If your benefit was cut, you would have received a letter from the Social Security Administration. The fact that you got a letter from the IRS strongly suggests that you had a tax problem. If you Google “Social Security” and “means testing,” you will see that, currently, Social Security benefits are not means tested.

The comment I made was pretty specific that the issue is not coming out ahead. It’s by how much you come out ahead and if you have no disabilities that prevent you from making use of the small amount extra — whereas you would not have those disabilities earlier and the dollars might have more value to you then.

And . . . there just is no question Life Expectancy is down over 2 years to less than 76 for men now, declining as the virus continues. So it gets harder to accumulate extra.

In many states, teachers do not contribute to or draw from SS.

Ummm.

No he legally had to contribute and participate unless he could show a religious reason not to.

He is only 70 and there was no other opt out just because he was self employed.

That is true. Some government employees are taking tax dollars to fund their retirement.

“The max Social Security benefit one can receive today is around $3,600/mo.”

That has increased effective this month.

I started collecting at 70 (last year) and had high income for most of my earning years.

My gross (pretax) benefit this month is $4,199.

I believe that is the max.

Yes, because the
“religious communities” take care of themselves.

“No he legally had to contribute and participate unless he could show a religious reason not to.”

Under what provision of the law is a person REQUIRED to obtain a Social Security Number? I certainly cannot find one.

politicians have promised for over 80 years

They lied.

... that you paid into the system

No, you paid the SS checks for people who were retired when you were paying. Your money is gone. Spent. Spread to the four winds. YOU WILL NEVER GET IT BACK. All you can do is rob your kids ...

it was being sold as something that would only affect "the rich" and would never affect most Americans.

They lied. "Soak the rich" always means "soak the middle class". It just takes a few years to get around to it.
