Just a question here - not an arguement.
Let's say you worked for 40 years at a job and paid your 5% salary deduction into Social Security for all the years. You retire and start drawing your monthly Social Security benefit at age 65. You (let's assume) live to be 90 years old. In those 35 years between age 65 and 90, will you have taken out more or less than what you put into Social Security over the 40 years of working?
If the answer is more, then Social Security is an entitlement? Also what if your spouse has never worked, don't they get part of the Social Security benefit also?
