You dont pay into anything. Money is taken from your paycheck on friday and monday the govt uses it to pay the bills. Nothing is set aside for you to collect at a later date and what you pay today has no correlation with anything you might collect later from other worker bees. And the supreme court has ruled that you are not guaranteed any return whatsoever on the money taken from you to provide a retirement income for others. Good scam if you can get it.
Very true. The theory was that you'd pay into it although I know it is confiscated, and you'd get it back with a return upon retirement.
I don't get it. Free markets made us the #1 economy on earth. "Poor people" have air conditioning,TVs, cell phones, cars, and are so overfed that obeisity is an epidemic.
Go to a socialist country and you'll see true poverty. From dumpster diving in Venezuela to an average worker in Europe with a 2000 EUR salary and perhaps 100 EUR in disposable income each month after everything else goes to the government, where home ownership, a car or some money in the bank is the luxury of a few.
And we need to change our system?!?!? Talk about being SPOILED ROTTEN and having NO IDEA how good we have it!
Poor people have those things in the US because of "assistance" programs. Take that away and watch what happens. We especially have a lot of socialist free programs for children and single mothers.
I’m concerned that as more Americans embrace socialism that eventually we’ll be heading on a path of chaos, deprivation, poverty, suffering, and death!

Just like poor people in every other western country -nothing uniquely American about poor folks, who are obese and have cars, TVs etc
