Old age isn't a guarantee of wisdom or knowledge. You don't seem to have thought it through. I very much doubt the government has little accounts for each and every working citizen. It would take up too much server space, and require too much management. A more probable train of thought would be that they collect medicare from working individuals, and stick it all in a big pot. Then disperse it accordingly.
My money is being stolen just the same as a 40 year olds. I have every right to complain.
I think the money shouldn't be stolen from other individuals. But that the family should be responsible. And after them, the church.
You better hope you don't need it at this point in your life - you've not paid into it long enough, you wouldn't receive it. Nor would you receive SSD should any catastrophe happen to you any time soon (God forbid!), you don't have enough work credits. Instead you would receive SSI, which is much, much less and you would have to apply for Medicaid to pay your medical bills.
I don't need to have thought it through, I'm a beneficiary and have lived it. Makes a world of difference in understanding. End of conversation on this side.
