Just so happens the only payments made into the super sluch fund on my behalf were the three years in the U.S. Army. I personally am among the few that have not put one cent of my money into the thing but becasue my wife was getting something like $20/month I had to pay monthly into some stupid medical program.
S.S. was never meant to be a retirement or medical or anything more than to put the whip cream on top of the pie after you prepared dinner and the pie.
If you can't see the socilist state that exists at present I pitty you. Let's see. the 'Government' controls the banking industry, auto industry, student loans etc etc.
They can not make everybody wealthy but they now sure have the power to make everyone equally poor and dependent. I personally could care less as I just about ready to cash in and get the H out of here but my grandchildren- that's another story.
You remind me of a fellow worker with the Division of Highways . Luciono Mileto. He saw no reason why the Governor should get paid more that the night costodian.
I still am wishing you enough,{nothing to do with money if you ever read the post)
