would you have us beg on the streets?...we don't have any fancy pensions...
you bet I expect to get my contributions back plus more....
its totally unfair because we have STILL many elderly that never worked a real job who get SS, illegals getting SS, and Medicaid, and the so-called "disabled" who are pulling in fat SS checks...( I know really disabled people and this is not meant to disparage them...they need the disability money and deserve it)
its enormously tough for younger people today...thats' why I believe in the old ways.....seeing to it that your family is taken care of as much as you can...
“so what would YOU do to people that have worked 45 yrs and paid SS?......that’s my husbands case.....and mine is a good 38 yrs...”
You bother saving any of money from your paychecks for retirement during your combined 83 working years? That’s quite a bit of time to build up an even a modest nest egg.
I don’t have a pension either. If you expect to get your “contributions” back plus more, you are simply saying you want to have the government act as your agent to steal from others. You obviously expect the government to take care of you.
