It doesn’t matter what they call it, at it’s core it’s highway robbery at best. For the amount of money most people pay into it through the course of their lives retirees should all be living like kings. Glad I don’t pay into it anymore.

50 yrs ago, I was 17 and they needed laborers to lay sod at the school. I helped, and they needed my SS# so they could keep part of the wages. Probly 1.75/hr then if that.

8.7% increase last year. Didn’t hear any complaints from retirees. Will increase this year as well. Military retirements will get an increase as well.

I used to tell my insurance clients that no widow has ever returned a life insurance check or complained that they should have never taken out the life insurance. They always said thank you.

It might have to do with the fact that Medicare and other programs comes through that department, and not just a social security check.

I hope employees and employers are still paying. Whatever makes you think otherwise?

Same for all of us. I started at $1.60 and no overtime until 54 hours. Did farm work as a kid for $.50/ hour, payable at Christmas after the crops were sold.

Life insurance has nothing to do with SS
And the life insurance was paid for. And you got your cut out of it.

The increases last year and those for next year will not come close to keeping up with the numbers the liars publish for cost of living increase. Bidennomics sucks!

That's a good question Jim. Why don't you look in to your question and get back to us? This should be an easy, small task for an attorney..... I just looked and it's called "All Sides" they rate opinions from thousands of readers and make the determination based on an opinion poll. Kind of like the opinion poll you asked for on this site a day or two ago, the one that got deleted.



No, it's not like my request for opinions. I didn't promote my thread as accurate or containing anything more than opinions.

But I can see how you'd confuse the two. "Fact Bias" is only surveying opinions also.

SS has been a ATM for crooks for so many years.

Jim, I don't believe I promoted my thread as a fact. In "fact" I did say it was based on an opinion poll. And suggested you look at the opinion poll.

From what I hear there is a real push right now to do away with the tax you pay on SS when you start drawing checks. The money you paid into SS when you were working was taxed before it went in. They tax you again when you start drawing it out. Double taxation by the IRS. They get you going and coming. May not get it done this year, but next year is election year. Hopefully then.

If I remember correctly, both Democrats and Republicans pushed for this retirement tax on SS. Both groups are crooks.
