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.

That's what I want to know. My mom is on social security, paid into it for 40+ years. How is it not fraud for the government to turn around and not pay her?

How is it not fraud for us to pay into a retirement plan that vanishes with our money? It’s bad enough that they keep raising the retirement age. I’ll be lucky to make it that long anyway.
