Unfortunately for your argument to work future generations will pay much much more to maintain similar “benefits.” Sorry for your luck. You participate in a ponzi scheme, expect to get burned.
Whoa! Believe me, I agree that it is a ponzi scheme. My point is that those of us at Social Security age had NO CHOICE about this horrendous “investment”, which took money from every one of our paychecks over the last 60 years. You make it sound as if seniors chose to participate and are now just robbing others.
BTW, although I am personally eligible, I have not registered to receive SS “benefits”, i.e., some return on all of the money that was automatically deducted from my pay against my will.
