It’s so sad...The corrupt running the country looted and everything meant for legitimate American citizens and gave trillions away in “Aid” packages to foreign governments and globalist foreign adventures.

Those SOBs in D.C. screwed everyone. But you’ll notice most of them in D.C. came out of this as millionaires.

U.S. citizens who work for a living have 15.3% of their income taken out for FICA (Social Security and Medicare). Yes, their employer picks up half the tab.

If the average worker put 15.3% of their income in an S&P 500 index fund over a 40 year working life, they would retire as multi-millionaires.

But the government instead spend many billions on illegal aliens, aid to foreign countries, welfare for people who don't work, and so on.

FICA, and the promise of a retirement income, is an absolute raw deal for our citizens. If they did not have their own savings to fund a retirement to supplement their meager Social Security income, they are absolutely screwed.
