Honestly at this point, I hope he fucks all the boomers and takes all their social security for himself. They don’t deserve it, and I was never gonna be able to get it either. Fuck em all 2025
Dude, I’ve got another 30 plus years before I could start to collect. There’s not a chance in hell that it’s going to exist when I’m eligible. It’s all these old fucks that dug the grave for us all, they all get a nice golden parachute to ride out the rest of their short lives. We are the ones that get left with the mess. AmeriKKKa deserves trump and musk 100 percent.
If the cons don’t fuck it up (and they want to do that), you absolutely would collect. And any “shortfall” would be easily remedied by lifting that regressive cap on it.
I’ve been hearing all of my life that it won’t be there when I retire. And the way the cons are gunning for it, I now do doubt I’ll collect. But if it wasn’t for people trying to ACTIVELY destroy it, it would be just fine.
Hey I’ve done my best, voted for the not cons, voted in my local elections. I’m heavily outnumbered here in FL. I’ve just lost all faith in this country. Honestly prefer it to see it burn now so the people that voted for this shit get punished before they die and leave it purely on our shoulders.
Hey, believe me, I understand the sentiment. We are all quite worn down. I just wouldn’t give up on humanity or the country. That’s what the fascists want.
It was always a substitute for paying to maintain your parents or grandparents in retirement. Unless you’re an immigrant, you’ve already been getting it back.
They’re paid out according to their contributions. But they’re paid with money current workers are paying in. It is technically a ponzi, but was designed to be sustainable instead of promising reckless profits.
It’s technically not a ponzi, it’s just a standard pay-as-you-go system which requires some sort of growth in revenues (such as population growth or changes in taxation) to be sustainable.
A ponzi scheme is fraud that can never pay out what it promised.

Well, that’s a very stupid take. This is what the elitists want - getting people to turn on one another, including one age range against another…
Don’t fall for it. The boomers paid into SS and are completely entitled to it, just like everyone else after them, too.

Don’t give them that power.
You should fight to get the money you paid back instead of just rolling over and letting them rob you.
lol it was always just extra income tax to anyone under 40. Only fools expected to see that money come back.
It was always a substitute for paying to maintain your parents or grandparents in retirement. Unless you’re an immigrant, you’ve already been getting it back.
Your parents and grandparents also paid contributions, didn’t they?
The money they paid was so that their parents and grandparents had a little something going into retirement.
Exactly. It’s a system that works almost entirely as a pay-as-you-go system, with each generation paying for the retirement of their elders.
Are your parents paid out according to your contributions or their own?
They’re paid out according to their contributions. But they’re paid with money current workers are paying in. It is technically a ponzi, but was designed to be sustainable instead of promising reckless profits.
