[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think I would stop the ability to claim SS if you've never paid in.  [/quote]
Who gets SS if they don't pay in? I thought you had to have 40 quarters of earning, and the benefit is figured in your top 35 years.[/quote]
DH grandma got SS for decades after her husband died. She never worked a job a day in her life. I'm certain she was not a citizen but drew a check for almost 50 years.[/quote]

Another solution is to get rid of SS and let your parents move in with you. Wonder if obnoxious PP is down with that.[/quote]

You mean like the norm in much of the world and for most of human history?  Families sticking together--what a novel concept. [/quote]

The norm for most of history is that the average life expectancy was under 40 and you worked until you dropped.  If you were lucky enough to live to old age, then sure you family would take care of you, knowing you probably only had a few years left at most anyway.[/quote]
