That may be true for the SS disability fraudsters but not for most workers.

If you log in to the SS site, you can see your yearly contributions
since you started slavery. Take those yearly contributions and plug
them in to any good investment calculator with a modest rate of return
and you can see the lump of money you'd have today. There's no way
I'll ever get all of mine back.

The problem is that the democrats have been using the Social Security
funds to fund lazy people.


Absolutely right. I contributed less to my 401k having to retire from
the company very early and now I get back more than my SS.

Only something like 60% goes to retired seniors and disabled and widows
and orphans get the rest, not to mention government stealing for other
programs.
