IF you watch the ‘judge’ shows aily, you will find a large number of Section 8 issues- where the recipient of such largess is suing a landlord or someone over any kind of perceived slight.
Judge on People’s Court likes to ask those who claim all kinds of ‘personal property’ missing when they are evicted for the exact list-—and it is amazing how many 60” plasma TV’s, pieces of jewelry & cell phones are listed.
They have more nice things than most of us.
...and at least one refugee/asylum seeking family!
How about the fact that SS is taken from our checks our whole working lives? I’m decades away from retiring, and would prefer they stop taking money from me if they’re just going to screw me down the road, but if you look at your SS withholdings from your paycheck you’d understand why people should get it back later.
“How about the fact that SS is taken from our checks our whole working lives? “
They take taxes from your check to fund all manner of welfare.
Anyone who thinks there is a lock box, or that they are “saving” for retirement via Social Security is deluded.
Social Security is a means-tested welfare program for the elderly.
It is nothing else.
By the time I retire I’ll have contributed to SS for more than 50 years; you should want me to get back as much as possible. Lockbox or not, IT WAS MY MONEY.
“IT WAS MY MONEY”
It was until the government stole it from you. And lied to you about it.
Hey, we’re all in the same boat.
But it does no good to continue to believe their fairy tale.
So if I get back what was stolen from me it is the same as welfare (where often never-employed parasites can get paid from more of my money)? I am decades from retirement, and I’ll be damned if I don’t try to recoup as much as possible of my money. By then some would have been invested for FIFTY YEARS.
