    Hey don't worry Congress is protected on this one , they get paid until they get placed in the ground and then some. I hope this will make you feel better and that everyone who didn't work did enjoy living off your dime. Hey its America you got to fuck someone before they fuck you, its the rules of the game.
     
    wait....you mean the govt screwed something else up?.....

    Its a tax, not a fund. You didn't pay into anything (Don't blame me, I didn't write the law).

    Its a pyramid scheme and the check is coming due....
    Not really.

    I get a nice check each month and it pays the bills. Had they not siphoned off most of the fund to line their pockets it would pay me for life. Ive already gotten out a LOT more than I put in so I guess I cant complain at ahat level, what sucks is that it will run out just as I cant work anymore.

    "Better to die on your feet than live on your knees" I don't about this, because camel toe is minutes away from becoming the president of the united states. I'v been called a cocksucker a few times in my life but I'll never be president.​

    I won't see a dime of that. none, I started when I was 13 and have recently maxed out and still prob has 20 years to go.

    Pure
    fucking
    theft.
     
    wait til they start taxing the money in our 401k's etc, i'm talking the balances.

    Thats exactly why I took mine ASAP, because I saw the writting on the wall.

    I only meant that in its inception it was a good idea, and has helped a lot of folks. Even good things get fucked up by stupidity, incompetence, and greed.
     
    Had you put that same amount in an index fund over the same amount of time……
    True that, but realistically, how many can do that and not touch it? Few.
     
    Sort of not funny thing but haven't they been running out of money like for ever ? I only go back to the 70's and remember hearing they were running out of money then and pop mentioned in the 60's they were running out and in the 80's Regan borrowed a couple of billion to put aside for road repair that never happened and promised to pay back the load which also never happened and the politicians have been allowing non citizens to draw from it never even having paid a dime into it just don't be surprised if it does collapse but the 800 or so dollars per month you might get from it isn't going to pay your bills so sell your kids and keep your jobs and it sure as heck wont cover you meds and the 30% you have to pay out of pocked for medical bills invest in a 401k young so you can maybe retire or just don't retire I guess you might still be able to be a Walmart greeter if your lucky in your golden years if they even allow you to collect it in the future . best of luck and sweet dreams
     
    OK, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.

    I pay 7.62% FICA, my employer pays a matching 7.62%. Combined that's 15.24% of every payroll dollar. If you're self employed, you pay both parts.

    15.24% of the country's payroll and you run out of money???

    You collect that money over 40 years and you STILL run out of money???

    I've worked with some pretty incompetent individuals over the 40+ years I've given them 15.24% (me and my employer), but this is f'ing amazing.

    These are the same folks wanting to run our health care and forcing us to wear a mask.

    I have a simple question for you parents out there. If this was your kid, what would you do? How long would they be grounded? How much lime would you need?
     
    Because SS recipients will only vote for a few more years.

    Get'em on welfare early and theyll vote for you for a long time.

    Simple really.
    Sadly, I think you are correct... especially on the first point. ;)

    no, i am saying nobody is paying SSI if they aren't working. the government is doing to themselves, and they will have to raise taxes on the rest of us.
     
    Yeah, but $3T of OUR money being steered to “human infrastructure” horse shit would go a long way to heal SS.

    But that won’t buy the leftist the votes the want.
     
    I seriously doubt we'll see a reduction in benefits any time soon. It wouldn't go over well with voters.

    Right now social security is funded via a 12.4% tax on the first $142,800 of each individuals earned income. That's up from $137,700 last year.

    We're going to see the social security cap increase, social security tax rates increase or some combination of the two to ensure that the program stays afloat. My money's on the social security cap increasing... probably by a lot.

    The burden will be placed on the upper middle class, and more specifically, employees in the upper middle class. Most won't even realize and/or comprehend what's happening. The self employed will continue to play games with pass through income from S corporations.

    You heard it here first.
     
    funny how closing down the country and putting people on unemployment cuts into the payroll tax revenue, huh?
    Funny how that worked out. .Gov stole from me for 49 years of my working career. They got my F'n checks long before I did. Sooo, if they didn't invest that money properly, that's on them. I look at myself as a Loan Shark, interest compounded daily. Send me my F'n check and don't be late, .gov.
    Mac;)
    ETA: Just think how many people have put into that F'n system, for as long as they have, just to die and not collect a f'n penny of it. There's probably a pretty good chance, that the Soc. Sec. fund is a lot more solvent then they would like you to believe.

    Funny how politicians can make very simple math seem so complex. It really boils down to the math you learned in first grade. You know 1+1=2 2+2=4 4-4=0.
    No matter how they want to spin it when take more out of something than you put in eventually you run out.

    I’m sure they’ll printing money by the truckload to cover it.
    I can’t wait to take the wheelbarrow full of money down to the local grocer to buy a loaf of bread.
    On the bright side, I’ll have my house paid off relatively soon.

    There's isn't a single dollar in the SS fund. The money to for SSI checks is covered by what's collected from those paying into the system. If it had been invested, it would (most likely) be solvent...unless politicians selected the type investments.

    Also. You have people working here with a fake ss number. Most of the time that number corresponds with a dead person usually from Puerto Rico. The person working knows they will never see a dime of that money and the government knows they will never have to pay a single cent to the dead man.
     
    But I thought we were in a horrible Pandemic, which was killing the elderly in droves. If that were really true, we would have much fewer people drawing upon Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid. Shouldn't that have EXTENDED the amount of time the money would last? Kind of makes you wonder if the number of elderly dead is a farce.

    The covid reporting is a farce. Look at what is and what is not reported. Always, the total (Cumulative) number of covid cases are always reported. What is ignored? The total number currently ill and the total number who have recovered.

    Before our local sheriffs department was banned from reporting numbers for our parish, our sheriff always reported the whole situation. We have had something like a grand total of 2000 cases (out fo a population of 15,000) since this started. Typically we would have somewhere between 15 to 50 people ill and maybe 5 or so in the hospital. But reading the typical media, one third of the population is deathly ill and half of those are dead or dying.

    Its not what is happening, its what the media wants us to think is happening. A full blown propaganda campaign, a campaign that would make Pravda proud.

    The most shocking part of finally making grownup money was seeing a quarter of it disappear every paycheck.

    No idea why we put up with this.
    We need to start a big powerful political org a la BLM called TIT - taxation is theft.

    They could call us "titties" - the t shirts would be amazing.

    Oh, also, let's end all government subsidized education.
    Yes, you heard me correctly and yes I did think that through.

    I’m looking for property in North Korea. Pretty soon it will be better to live there than here
     
    Thats the scam of 401k's that nobody talks about, 401k was not started to help us, but to tax us.

    I'll cash out and take the early liquidation penalty.

    Keep the fucking money out of the bank
