Once you calculate that out you will get social security payments for about two years.You might want to revise and extend your remarks, friend.
For discussion purposes, let's consider the SS taxes contributed by one who averaged $50K for 30 years:
Employee portion = $50K * .062 = $3100 * 30 years = $93,000.
Double that to include the employer portion, and you come up with $186,000.
Assuming a payout of $2500/month from SS, or $30K per year, that results in a term of over 6 years, without any consideration of accrued interest over those 30 years.
A quick check through an annuity calculator yielded a life annuity of nearly $15K per year.

Conservatives had better decide to recognize and make use of this distinction. For if they choose to attack the deserving entitlees as well as the undeserving entitlees, they are destined to lose the ideological battle.It is vicious, misleading and self-defeating to broadly lump people who have been productive all their life with hardcore parasites. Such lies are liable to hand the election over to the Democrats. Such is the decay of the professional windbag class since Ronald Reagan. Reagan knew how to express hard truths without demeaning the worth of anybody.
The author of this piece in FoxNews should be ashamed.

"It is amazing some of the economic fallicies I see on Free Republic."
It amazes me that some people ON THIS SITE think that handing money over to people to blow on booze, cigarettes, and lottery tickets will help the economy grow.
This may help.
