Are you freaking kidding me. They confiscated my money for 40 years you a-hole. The effective return is meager as hell compared to the market index.

And you want to steal 25% of my money.

frick you.



This is a 100 irrelevant. You are speaking purely in hypotheticals. The “market returns” you speak of were not earned; not by you and not by the govt, because the money was never invested. How can you be owed something that you never had?

Riddle me this: the dollar I paid in would have paid for a pound of hamburger, now I need six to eight dollars to buy a comparable pound of hamburger, and inflation sucks, but it's sucking a lot worse recently.

It's not a voluntary program idiots. They would not allow me to invest it. So because of that your saying they owe me no return at all?

The way you couch this indicates it is irrelevant due to being a hypothetical.
You do realize what you quote in your original post is a "hypothetical" also, right? It is a projection by the CBO...

Give me the 12.4% the I pay and my employer pays on my behalf and let me invest over a 40 year career and I will get way more the $2/month.
