d old people can finally collect social security they paid into their whole working life. So what’s the problem?
actually the average social security recipient gets $3 back for every $1 they put in.

This is a completely backwards and selfish way to do things.

That generation can’t die off quick enough. What a drain on society? Can’t wait until their vacation houses that they purchased on a janitorial and teacher salary hit the market.

No they didn't. They're getting more than they paid in and this doesn't even mention the stupid pensions.

First of all "The US Government" isn't paying for shite. It's all the tax payers paying.

But iIf parents cant afford a kid form 0-5 then they shouldn't have them. And these numbers quickly change once free school starts getting added in.

Shouldn’t 40+ years of forced retirement investing return more than paid in?

Well Millennials are going to be doing all of the paying and get none of it back because social security will collapse long before they can get it.


All pyramid schemes eventually collapse.

Millennials will soon have enough voting power to dissolve it and come out with more than nothing, if they have the balls to do so.

Older folks paid 6.2% on up to $176k (2025 cap) of salary for their working life.

Younger folks have consumed well more than contributed, in comparison.

As you are comparing.

That said, if the more important point is more investment for youth, just make that case. It comes across as jealousy.

Keeping up w/Joneses is weak at both ends.

BTW, on board for greater investment in youth. Just don’t start with whiny context.
