Since when is SS an entitlement program? It’s a contract. The feds have been extorting my money for 50 yrs and using it.
I want my money back.
You should take a copy of that contract you signed down to your lawyer's office and have him look it over.
Exactly. I want back what they ripped out of my paychecks for 45 yrs without my permission then I'll go away. With interest, of course.
Its worse than that. You pay income tax on the money they take out of your check for SS, and then you pay income tax again on the amount they give back each month during retirement
It’s not a contract. If you die one day after retiring, your adult heirs will get nothing and the government gets it all. It’s a redistribution scheme taking money from the people that work all their lives and gives it to the retired.
I’ll settle for half my money back now and count me out of the program altogether
In general I hate the term entitlement. Just how in the hell did someone get entitled to empty my wallet at the point of the federales' gun? One possible exception is Social Security because it was sold to the public as an "insurance" program of some type.
It’s a contract.
Absolutely not. The Flemming v. Nestor Supreme Court ruling in 1960 made it very clear that SS is not a contract and that you have no vested right to it. Congress could scrap the whole program next week if it wanted to and you would have no right to fight it in court.
I want my money back.
Don't we all. I just don't plan on getting any in 20 years. I expect all the "ants" to have their Social Security to be taxed or means tested away to pay for the ever increasing number of "grasshoppers".
Oh no no no no no no no no - Been working 45 years, and I’m 1 year away from retirement. Keep your limp wrists off my SS benefits, you pansy-a$$ed SOB.

It’s a game the #ing scumbags are playing.
A FReeper recently posted his SS check was labeled: Federal Entitlement Payment.
