What about those of us who contributed maximum....double hit actually.....as employers for 40 plus years
My dad contributed over half million in his life....not counting any return....he died at 64 and got not shite
Y
My mom got 20,000 a year for 9 years and died.....25% of his principal only
I sold a business a few years back and paid back FICA in a dispute settling of 125,000 and am on track to put in even more than dad did as a business owner
I won’t get back but a pittance what I contributed to all my life
A lot of crybabies here whine about older folks....like girls
I have 9 dependents.....taxes and the stagnant economy are brutal
And yet if I get back just some of the at least 500,000 I’ve contributed to FICA just in principal
And I’m a bad guy....a spoiled brat
Well EFF the hipster sissy generation and the Prius they rode in on with their wife driving.....they got a lot of gall
Yeah, I know wardaddy. It sucks. But that’s the nature of all Ponzi schemes.
In a few years, I will turn 62. At that time, I will file for SS and leave the US for the Philippines where my dollar will go a lot farther.
Hopefully, SS will still be solvent.

Excellent rant, all correct! I’m in the same boat as you regarding this.
