Fine. Give me back all the money I and my employer have contributed for the past 25 years plus interest, and you can do whatever you want to Social Security.
What part of "set a date" don't you understand? Did you think I meant "set a date" 20 years in the past? Duh.
Great. So I should settle for similar treatment, then? Or am I supposed to wait until you die, so I can make the same demand of someone else down the road? I'm going to get screwed out of several years worth of SS taxes as of right now, and if they keep raising the retirement age,my hubby will get screwed out of more money than you probably will. But that's okay, so long as you get yours?
The whole thing is unfair, and needs to be scrapped. I'm not gonna sit there and take it just because you got ripped off, too. Any solution is going to make someone unhappy, but let's get real here. You wouldn't get everything back, and neither would younger folks than you. It's no excuse to keep throwing good money after bad.
"Fine. Give me back all the money I and my employer have contributed for the past 25 years plus interest, and you can do whatever you want to Social Security."
They can keep my last 20 years worth of contributions if the program is killed today. But then, I am a true conservative and willing to make the sacrifice to eliminate a major socialistic program that creates an entitlement mindset.
