For you is is not. For the people who got your money, more than they paid in, it is and still is. There is case on this, I don’t have it to post to, but it was determined long ago that Social Security is not a right.

You have a right to be mad about all of the socialist lies this country, the MSM, the politicians, the FED, have been telling all these years. Because the dirty truth is, there is not enough money left now.

Where do we go from here?

You won’t be alone in your anger. But there are too many house of cards in this country with the current monetary system to remain healthy.

Not really...

The person that hired you ‘matched’ your payment ‘in your behalf’.

If you were lucky enough to be self employed, Unka Sugah allowed you to pay the entire amount.

Now they want to call it welfare.....

Reminiscent of b clinton saying ALL government payouts were welfare, including Military Retirement, SSA etc with the idea being a check from the Government was a check from the Government, so it was one and the same.

I am not sure but I do not think he included Pols pay etc in that mix.

Agreed. So Soc. security is a tax...pure and simple. If only govt. would have let us pull out of Soc Security and have equivalent of Flex Medical Spending Accounts where WE CAN INVEST OUR MONEY AS WE SEE FIT!!!!!!!
