I have been paying for years on home owners insurance and auto insurance and haven't got a nickle back! Does anyone know how I get some return on that investment! I know I paid a lot more money than that measly 2% they use to pay for SS back in the 1930s and 40s. I bet a lot people got a great return on investment from those years!
