re: Should Poor people have "Less Vote" than Rich people?

The poster Zach honestly believed that the SS that I will be receiving was coming out of his pocket never mind that I have been paying in for over thirty years

It is.

When you were paying SS - you were paying for other people's SS. The people receiving benefits at the time.

In exchange for this, the law requires us younger people to pay your SS now.

And when I get old, the law requires people younger than me pay for mine.


This is true because when SS began - old people who had never paid into it became beneficiaries.




That's how it works. Pay as you go. Each generation taking care of the one who came before it.
