"1 to 1"

That's a false analogy. The people who have paid in to SS had no control over their money being taken. They were all victims of a vast Ponzi scheme with no choice other than to leave the country. The money that went to ss could have been put in a different fund which might have made the donor a lot more money than what they're receiving in ss payments.

The time to complain about past funds paid is long past. Today we do not have the money to pay everyone everything they have been told to expect.

The money folks get today is not theirs, it is earned by someone else today, or in the future (debt).

Really? Just helpless victims? Couldn’t vote to change that system or rebel to get rid of it? Just kick the can down the road?
