Bs! The old geezers were young workers who paid out of pocket all of their lives. Their money should be waiting for them, with interest! They paid in advance of their retirement.
If it’s not there, who took it?
You’re falling for the BS line intended to hide the theft, and continue it.
I paid SS & Medicare taxes for 37 years, always the maximum rate. I signed up for benefits at 62. I have already received all my taxees paid back in benefits. I will not uell and scream if they cut SS to benefit young workers. I am not selfish old gizzer.
