Social Security is a fricking scam. They take it from our checks, tell us at what age we can start to withdraw it, tell us how much of OUR money we can get every month and the worst part is , when you die your family only gets a $256 death benefit even if your account has several hundreds of thousands of dollars in it.
Hell yes it is. My father died a few years ago at 67. In a fair system my mother SHOULD get to draw both his and her SS. Nope, she only gets whichever one is higher and that's it. So if my fathers SS was 609 a month, and my mothers was 580 a month she'd get a 609 check not 1389 which she should because they both worked their whole damn lives and paid it in.
Now, another lady who lives down the road never worked an MFing day in her life. Never paid a dime in SS. Her husband died at age 68, and she gets to keep drawing his entire SS check. So, the lady that didn't work a day in her life could possibly draw more than my mother who worked for 40 something years. Bull f'ing shite. Just give me my damn money.

Again, it’s not a retirement account it’s a safety net. Your father is no longer alive thus doesn’t need the net to support him. You’re looking at it like it’s some sort of account that you have which accumulates over time and then at the end you have this pile of cash which belongs to you, that’s not what the program is.
