I would like to ask a general question of those who seem to be badgering and criticizing social security recepients.
WHY ? What motivation do you have to attack those who receive social security or make them feel guilty for receiving ?
Is it to deflect the other spending done by the government that you support ?
Is it to defend some other policy ?
I ask, because it makes absolutely no sense to me why I, or any other recepient should feel guilty in anyway at all. I paid and was told I could not work unless I paid. I had very few other investment opportunities as most of them did not exist at that time. I have no idea if I am collecting more than I put in the system as the government has screwed up the accounting of SS so bad it is hard to determine a lot of things about the program.
Is this because if you collect SS, you should not be allowed to criticize all the other entitlements gained by NOT working ?
I just do not understand it. The OP, to my knowledge, was a government employee thus never paid into the system so I just do not get the motitvations.
Thank you
