[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. It's welfare for the elderly (and a few other groups)[/quote]

It’s not welfare, just frigging stop it.[/quote]
