| Anonymous Coward User ID: 85459804 03/18/2023 05:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For 40 years of your work, what you earned doesn't even account for 10% of the money the government will need to spend on you in the future. And saying that you've paid everything off is ridiculous. It’s like you are asking for something worth a thousand dollars after paying only a hundred dollars. This is socialism. At age 55, the last SS statement I got (about 5 months ago), showed that both my employers and myself (since the age of 14 when I started working) have contributed: Me - $219K My Employers - $219K So $438,000, plus I'm still working now and can't even qualify for SS full benefits for another 10 years (age 65). At age 65, based on today's numbers, I will collect $3,100 per month, or roughly $37,000 per year. I'd have to collect that amount for 13 years just to recoup what my employers and myself have put into the program, NOT INCLUDING ANY GROWTH OVER THE LAST 40 YEARS! It's a rip off. If they offered me all of my money (and my employers contributions) + a retroactive 2% per year interest, then I would cash out. Guess you were stupid to pay in,Ukraine But they won’t make you an offer…it’s always been a pay forward program. All sales are final. No refunds allowed. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 69539356 Canada03/18/2023 05:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: ookie You know, I am disabled. So is my wife. If we didn't get social security we would die. We get just barely enough to survive. There is zero extra to save or plan for. I am getting sick of people like you wanting to make my life even harder. It's not my fault those idiots in office took the money from the trust fund. But they did. That doesn't make the obligation of the government go away. Leave us poor folk alone. We have it bad enough. We can't survive any cuts. It's bad enough they took away our food stamps. Try to live off $75 a month in food. Just try. See if you think you need less. The whole thing was a PONZI scheme from the beginning. Moral people would have realized this was going to bankrupt their kids and demanded it be repealed. The Boomers were the only generation that had the required size to make a difference. They instead CHOOSE to burden future generations with their retirements - just as you are arguing that you still deserve something out of other people's pockets now. Shouldn't you be living with your kids? Shouldn't you kids be taking care of you? If they won't, why should I , a complete stranger be doing that? Its your generation's prevalent collectivist attitude that other people are resources for your own use that is the problem. You are responsible for you - You should have saved for your old age. You should have children that care enough about you to care for you. I am not responsible for your life, and if you die why should I care? You see me as a walking wallet- not a person. SO why should I treat you like a person when you won't reciprocate? Bullshit. SS was supposed to be insurance, in case you lived long enough to be unable to work. Just like car insurance, you are paying a premium. That is why no money is paid if you die before retirement age. The problem was that Washington took the money and spent it, it was supposed to have been left alone. No, sorry, everything I said was true. It doesn't matter what you think it was "supposed" to be. It started out literally paying benefits to people who never paid in. That is the definition of a ponzi scheme. the Supreme court already determined its just a tax and that no one who paid the tax is entitled to anything. Hence it is NOT insurance, even if it was "supposed" to be Insurance, by the way - covers things that MIGHT happen -distributing the risk - you know you will get old hence there is no need for "insurance" unless you provide so little value to others that you can't afford to save money like a responsible person would and then decide you will live off of others by stealing from them. If it is such a great idea- why do people have to be forced to pay into it? Why are they not allowed to opt out if you can show you will be taken care of by your own means? ( Actually the Amish are allowed to do so) One COULD set up a retirement insurance without the fed and mandatory participaton couldn't they? They didn't. Its not insurance. Its a ponzi scheme to steal your money and give it to the government and that is exactly what happened. Those in charge are working on taking out the Amish for a multitude of truths made apparent on several fronts of late... Dioxins in Ohio. |
