Government turned SS into a slush fund and ripped us off. They spent over $2 trillion dollars of our money and gave us worthless IOU's. How are they going to pay us back hold a fucking bake sale?
Here's what's going to happen...
1. Government is going to fuck taxpayers over by raising the retirement age in the hopes that people just die before they can collect benefits. Do you really want to be working a full time job when you are 70 years old?
2. Government is going to force people to pay SS taxes on every dime of income. So instead of paying the current maximum of $18,130 in SS taxes a year (combined personal/employer or self employed) people will be forced continue paying a whopping 15.3% on every dollar over the current $118,500 limit but will receive no additional benefit. A lot of middle class families are going to get hit with this.
3. Government will implement means testing to fuck some people out of their SS benefits altogether even though they were forced to pay into the system for decades.
Its not a theory all three of the above have been proposed by government multiple times.
I hate to burst your bubble but even though SS is a MANDATORY TAX the scumbags in SCOTUS ruled in Flemming v. Nestor, 363 U.S. 603 (1960)
The Court ruled that SS created no contract exists, and that there is no contractual right to receive Social Security payments. Payments due under Social Security are not “property” rights and are not protected by the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment.
Since SS is just another "income tax" the funds can be commingle with general revenue funds to pay for the latest war du jour and/or to chase the latest War Party boogeyman.
