Whose Version of the truth?
This is an example of the attitude that makes our elected officials label Social Security as an
"entitlement."
I do not feel that I am greedy...just feel I have had a contract with America that I would have a retirement fund available for my later years. I paid in and my employer paid in to insure this retirement.
IT IS NOT AN "ENTITLEMENT.
If SSA is a problem, I should have been able to opt out and put this money away on my own, as I did with the rest of my retirement funds.
It tick's me off to have had this contract questioned after so many years and to be labeled as "greedy" by the Alan Cranstons and judgemental poster on this board.
It is NOT greed, it is expectation based on this lifelong "contract."
