I missed the ending of all payments of any kind to non-citizens.

Lifting the payroll cap will not touch the problem. It will simply increase the amount of benefits owed. The next shoe to drop is a 20% increase in payroll tax, "for the good of all concerned."

If Social Security was a private retirement plan, the managers would go to jail for fraud.

I think they mean lift the cap but don’t increase benefits. That is probably what is going to happen and it is a huge tax increase on the middle class

Social Security is a Ponzi scheme that was absolutely set up for the young and working to fund the old. This isn’t novel, this is the blueprint

We’re not making enough babies to get in the work force to keep SS intact down the road. Period.

No non citizen should get one dime from the government. If they don’t like it, they can go back from where they came. This isn’t complicated.

Considering SS's structure as US Debt Obligation, untethering contributions from benefits would be a bridge too far in terms of 14th Amendment compliance.

Well, they better come up with something because they made a deal with us that we didn’t even want.

They took our fricking money from the first paycheck to the last and I want it back with full interest.

And in fact, if I outlive my contribution with interest, I still want my monthly check because that was the fricking deal.

And before you try to condescendingly proclaim that I should’ve saved for retirement and not have to depend on Social Security That’s not the point at all.
I don’t need it, but it’s my fricking money and the deal was I was going to get it back.

So if you young dumb fricks voted in people who stole all the money then it’s not my fricking problem. You have to pay it back. Yes you have to pay me. Because that was the deal My government made with me and if my government reneges on this deal, then I am done with the United States of America just as I am done with Baton Rouge Louisiana.

Anytime that Fauxkahontas is involved, I have to suspect ulterior motives. Or some kind of black funds channeling.

You swallowed some line of shite that your grandpappy told you. That was never the deal, and if it'd just been parked in a bank for nothing more than simple interest, you'd have millions in the bank.

I've always assumed since my 20s that SS wouldn't be there at all for me, and saved appropriately. Just like the hundreds of thousands in property taxes I've paid, the federal taxes that go to fund wildlife bridges in California, it's just earnings set on fire. Life sucks, get a helmet, but end this shite for future generations, even at our generation's expense.

That would be fantastic!

Unfortunately, the beneficiary would have to consent ... and he won't do it. As there is but one SS beneficiary, Uncle Sam, and he will never give up the cheap money SS provides him, we're stuck.

It's a ponzi scheme. It's always at the expense of young people. I started getting taken 50 years ago. I'll never live long enough to get back what I put in.

Slow your roll bro, we can’t even jail a couple Somali’s and a closeted homosexual Governor for massive proven fraud in the tens of billions
