[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a millennial I'd like to make ss optional so I can stop paying and cash out [/quote]

"cash out"? It's a pay as you go system-- the most you can do is destroy the social safety net for seniors by ending social security but you are never getting your contributions back.

Don't be a tool and let the right wing propaganda tell [b]you the money isn't there for social security--[/b] it's only not there if they steal it for other things, like tax cuts for the wealthy.[/quote]

but the money isn't actually anywhere. It's an IOU from the feds. Your payments into the system are spent [b]by Congress[/b] immediately. Your payments aren't sitting anywhere compounding or earning interest.[/quote]

All the money the government collects is then redistributed by the government. That's how taxation works.

People need to stop thinking about Social Security like some sort of savings account.[b] It's welfare for the elderly[/b] (and a few other groups)[/quote]

No. If that were the case, we'd means test it. Which we should be doing. I don't get why my mother and stepfather are driving around in a jag and collecting SS. [/quote]
