I'm working as a teacher in Louisiana & they don't withhold for SS as their pension plan is exempt. At first it bothered me that I am gambling my retirement funds on a state with marginal economic sense, but with the GOP screwing up SS, I am simply assuming I won't ever get to retire anyway.
This is nonsense if course. Getting back what you paid in with interest is what social security already is. If they destroy social security, by definition you’ll never get what you’re owed in any way shape or form. Protecting social security is the only option.
Same. I wonder how much money it would cost the Federal government to payout the largest class action lawsuit in history. That’s our money. Perhaps we should all stop paying our Federal income taxes if there’s longer any confidence that it will be used as designed and legally protected.
I can't stand Trump, but that money is long gone. It may not be politically palatable, but you paid for the current retirees. That Social Security statement you get every year is nothing but propaganda. Now, let's means test it so it remains sustainable to keep senior citizens from starving.

And, with interest!
Family member 1st paid SSA taxes in 1972, when the Dow reached an all time of over 1,000 units for the first time.
