You obviously haven’t paid into SS all your life like I have. Its not anyones money but mine. It came out of my pay checks all my life.
Paid into it all my life since the early 60’s and have been collecting on it since I retired several years ago.
Pay attention, what I said was: SS should be eliminated, phased out. There’s better alternatives and I would have done much better if I had invested that money myself along with an employers contribution.
The government hands out your investment to many folks that never paid a cent into it.
