I would have demurred were the price not so high. Just because they would have jailed me or forced me to live economically beyond the law does not allow them to stiff me.
Don't worry, I'll take mine as a nice bit of Yellowstone Park or maybe my own bit of bandwidth in the EM spectrum or mineral rights in Bryce canyon.
Fear not, just because they used the money to fund all kinds of goodies "for the children" does not mean we expect anything of you.
On the contrary, as a teacher I understand how little we can expect from the next few future generations. As evidence, I offer OWS.
Of course I’ve paid, and much more than most. But what you need to realize is that FICA is just a tax, like the income tax and gas taxes are just taxes. We aren’t entitled to anything by virtue of having paid any tax - something that the SCOTUS has held.
SS was a fraud from the beginning. So, even though I should be collecting in a few years, I don’t argue that someone is required to pay taxes to give me my FICA money back any more than I think others are obligated to pay taxes so I can get my income taxes or any other tax back. The people who made off with my FICA “contributions” over the last 40 years are mostly long gone. I certainly don’t have a moral claim to make new SS victims of others for the money I had taken from me.
