People on Social Security are not being paid to NOT work. They are
being
paid for having worked in the past.

Tell that to all the kids under 18 who are on Social Security.

Kids under 18 are not collecting Social Security, they are collecting
survivors' benefits because their working mom and/or dad has died.
Generally the money goes to a legal guardian who must make an accounting of
all money spent on behalf of the minor(s). I'm familiar with the this
provision of the law because I have a friend who lost her husband. Their 2
daughters will receive checks until 18. They are currently 16 and 9. Since
the woman works, she won't collect on her husband's account when she
retires. He was a male psych nurse. You may have met him if you were ever
committed in Nashville. You have a problem with that, asshole?


Social Security is welfare by any other name. It's a safety net for
people who
don't or won't plan for their own retirement. If you start collecting at
age 65,
then by age 69 you will have consumed everything you paid in. After 69 is
free
money from the socialists. Those who live to be 80 and 90 are ripping us
all
off.

You're mathmatically challenged as well as being a total jerk, Gene. Whether
or not one plans their retirement or not, at age 62 (partial benefits) or
65, one is eligible to receive benefits since the money was extracted from
both the employee and the employer by the government. One would be a fool
like you not to draw those benefits.

Want to do a little math here? Let us assume that the work life is 45
years, at an average of $30k per year. Total taxable wages $ 1,350,000 at
12.8% (both halves) equals $ 172,800. Drawing an estimated $ 1,500 per
month, the account wouldn't run out for 115 months or almost 10 years.

People who don't work should be sent to a barracks, housed 100 to a bay,
and get their meals on picnic benches in a tent.

You're a compassionate *******, aren't you?

May I recommend decaf, a good mantra, and professional help to deal with
your irrational hatreds?
