I think it's time for America to cut social security altogether (serious)

Idk what the solution is, but I’d at least like the ability to opt out.

With the amount that a middle to upper middle class individual is donating to the American government for SS, millions of dollars per person are being lost over the course of a career.

I’m fine with it if I get the 200,000 dollars that I’ve paid in over the last 30 years!

Sure just give me all I’ve paid into it first

It's an intergenerational ponzi scheme that will be all dried up by the time my generation is eligible to collect it. So yeah, abolish that bullshite and give every cent back to each American that paid into it.

We should be allocating that money to young, productive people. We’re currently paying rich people to not work. It’s arse backwards if we’re going to have an entitlement like that.

I’ve paid into that black hole for 30 yrs. I better get something out of it.

Stop spending hundreds of billions of dollars on stupid dumb shite that does absolutely nothing for American people

You need to cut SSI that feeds half of the world population. Even wealthy people from other countries come here, hide their assets, and receive SSI.

It needs to be phased out over about a 40 year period to avoid screwing everyone that paid in. If you're 25 now and have only been paying in significantly for 3 years, your benefit wouldn't be much, but you could invest yourself for the next 40 years. If you're near retirement, you'd get what you were promised.
