That money you have been paying has been spent. The money for your check will come directly from the pockets of younger, working people. The best thing to do now is to stop the scam now. It’s the only moral, constitutional choice.

I agree. Anyone who enters the workforce from now on should not have to pay and never be able to collect.
Too many people still do not understand this. They still think the benefits they will receive are the taxes they and their employers paid into the system. Not true and it hasn’t been true for a long time. The system never factored in increases in life expectancy, the uneven population growth over time, not to mention the expansion of benefits with SSDI. Even if the government never borrowed a dime from Social Security, the Ponzi-like structure of the system would eventually cause it to go broke.
The money from your Stocks also comes from younger working people. Same difference.
The Government can just declare those do not need to be paid.
Both Stocks & Social Security don’t need to be paid.
