Is that correct ? You talk as if you did something special...you did contribute to YOUR pension plan...lucky you....I contributed to Social Security and you did not !
That is one question, ie. you didnt contribute to Social Security ? Second one is..you talk as if NO public funds were used for your pension...is that what you are saying ?

Also, we pay 15% for our Social Security...what? you say 7.5%? I paid 71/2% and my employer paid 71/2 %....Slitting it in half is just a FDR trick to make it look better because the employer doesn't care if he pays me or the government, therefore I paid 15% every paycheck for 48 years.
I didn't get summers off or a week off every couple of months either.
All I'm saying is that there is a great injustice to the whole darn system.
Why should I eat dog food?
