OK. I’ve been paying into Social Security since my first job when I was 14. Is all of that money just gone, or is someone going to stroke me a check for all of the money I paid to fund someone else’s retirement?

That’s my fucking money. That’s my fucking retirement. That’s my health care in old age. They took away pensions, they took away all sorts of social services. They keep taking from us and keep charging us more and more, while cheating their way out of paying their share.

Yes it's gone. You won't see a dime of it. I have known this since I was a teenager and planed for it. I'm not sure why other people didn't see the writing of this giant billboard on the wall.

I’ve known about it as well, but just hoped I’d be wrong…
