The first recipients didn’t pay into it; how could they? ... KMA she DID PAY into it. For what she got she rolled the dice and won.
“she DID PAY into it”
That’s beside the point. I was responding to the claim that SS was intended to benefit those who pay into the system (in a manner of speaking), which is wrong for a number of reasons, the least arguable one being the first beneficiaries could only pay into the system by jumping in a time machine. But for the record, no, she didn’t “PAY into it,” since there’s no “it” to have paid into.
