SS was never meant to be your retirement. It was meant to be a supplemental and YOU were supposed to save for your own retirement by living several levels below your ability to earn.
WhoTF expects minimum wage workers to live several levels below their ability to earn???

Who the hell are these idiots that work on minimum wage for their entire 40 years of life... I haven't met a single person who worked at minimum wage for their entire life and then start retiring... we don't not change a system because people aren't smart enough to get better jobs... we change the people to go get better jobs... all minimum wage jobs weren't designed for careers..

Cool so where do I go to get a better career? And who would hire a minimum wage career changer over 50?
Wall-mart hires a lot of older folks at minimum wage. So do any number of low buck operations. Some people do not realize that not everyone is financially successful and seem to think these people should be punished for not being winners. As if being poor is not punishment enough.
Social Security is a phenomenally successful program that represents the very best in American values and has virtually no waste, no corruption and almost no overhead.
The program does have one serious problem, however its benefits are too low. So let's increase social security benefits. Here's the article.
Quite an amusing article.
It's all about increasing our already bloated government's spending.
So while we are doling out more and more government benefits, let's just pay everyone to retire on $100,000 per year at age 55. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
A substantial portion of our citizens have figured out how to vote for government money. I refer to the big finance banks, huge manufacturing companies, utility stock holders, agribusiness, drug companies and the entire military supply chain.
Yes, and we should end all government subsidies and bailouts. Including farm subsidies and energy subsidies.

Social Security is an insurance system designed to provide a spendable income to elderly that never made enough to save for a pension, lost their savings in a stock market or bank failure or suffered a catastrophic illness that drained their savings in favor of the overpriced medical industry.
Your forgot to include the millions who were just to lazy or lacked self control to save for retirement. The leeches.

That and fifty bucks would buy them a cup of coffee....
The obvious solution is to stop the government from stealing the money.
