I get in real trouble when I explain to a leech...er...senior citizen that Social Security and Medicare is simply the government robbing and looting my paycheck and others' paychecks and redistributing it to them. Tough luck. The money belongs to me and my family. Seven percent of my income (actually much more if you factor in what my employer is paying as matching "contributions" - what he has budgeted to pay me but has to give over to government robbers) goes directly to these leeches. For me, if you factor in employer matching, that comes to over $10,000 per year that is freakin' stolen from my family and given to some old fart somewhere who failed to budget and plan his finances accordingly.
Take a look at your FICA "contributions" - then double them. That is what is being outright stolen from you and your family. And then go find the part of the Constitution that allows this theft. Don't bother, it is not there.
Man, I'm pissed. Where are the crates of tea to dump, dammit? Where's my warpaint? I'm sick to death of this crap!
Want to get pissed too? Check out this Social Security calculator from The Heritage Foundation and you will see how much you would be able to retire with and leave to your heirs if you didn't have your money stolen from you and flushed down the freakin' retarded Social Security ponzi scam.
For me, I would have around $1million by simply investing the same amount into interest bearing accounts, stocks, and bonds. Then, I would be able to live comfortably until I die and would leave around $800k to my heirs. Imagine the magnitude of the theft that the Federal Government is perpetrating against every working American!
