Super. Then calculate what I’ve been contributing for the last 30+ years and refund me total, plus interest. Social Security is not an “entitlement”. It’s my money that I’ve loaned the government. So give it back.
Bright Red Church ran, super gerrymandered UTAH, didn't even put anyone on the Ballot to run against greedy Mike Lee. Mike Lee is waiting like a spider to get his hands on the Money, he'll get from BIG OIL while destroying Bears Ears.
We've taken enough land from Indigenous American Human Beings.
That PoS can phase it out after he pays retirees and soon to be retirees every cent we paid in with compound interest over the decades we worked. IOW
Fork over the $$ Melon, or STFU.
I am SO SICK of these damn MAGA fools in Congress that keep referring to Soc. Sec. as an "entitlement" in the people being given something for nothing sense of the word...!! But truth be known... You're damn right I'm "entitled" to *MY* money I paid into Soc. Sec. fund every 2 weeks for 40+ yrs!!
“Mike Lee's rant on X is a misrepresentation of Social Security's history and how the program works. Social Security is not a personal retirement fund or a Ponzi scheme. It is social insurance.”

It still baffles me that they can take our money in the first place. Like we know nothing the govt does is profitable, so they gonna be paying us back with more of our own tax dollars.
People have a short memory.If they took the cap off the max wages that can have social security withheld,they’d be swimming in funds with no excuses 2cut or eliminate a fund we paid into our whole working lives!Also,all the employers paid in2 that fund on our behalf!ERs & EEs each pd 6.2% of wages.
A few years back, I was an HR and accounting manager. All the top earners would be so excited when they no longer had to pay into social security while the rest of staff(who could have really used that money in real time)had theirs withheld. Good to hear you felt weird about it.Never seemed right2me
Ya. It really sucked. I saw really uncool things. But there was no one to report those things to since the ones doing the bad things were the ones in power. Isn’t it always that way? 🤦🏻♀️Got let go when I refused2 fight an unemployment claim from a guy in a mental health crises they term’d.They had no❤️
If I don't get it, then there's no grounds for the government to say I have to keep paying into it. I guess I get to keep that money now and they're cool with it?
Yeah. They told us how they would harm all of us and somehow people were like "Come come...bend me over that table. Don't bother with the lube, just ram it in."
Why are they hell bent on taking away what we have paid for all of our working lives. I think they have important things to do instead of standing on our necks. Aholes
I don't understand this. Social security is not a government hand out. It's money both you and your employer paid into it. Why stop there? Why not go after people's IRA's?
The everyday workers must stand against this. We have paid into Social Security all of our working days. If they get away with this, it will only be the first step. Contact your representatives and senators.
The "roots" are me, and millions of others, paying into it, paycheck after paycheck, year after year. You gonna give me and all the rest a lump sum payment?
No, but they'll help themselves to what we've sacrificed and paid into it.
Billionaires like Trump and his buddies aren't just happy being rich, they want everyone else to have nothing.
Congratulations to all the idiots who voted for Trump, they'll be suffering like the rest of us.
Yeah. You were warned... almost 15 years ago. That's when he said this. Annie was likely in her teens. Please provide more current "facts" and provide citings so people can make their own opinions. Thanks.
❣️THAT's WHY: CONservatives IS THE PROBLEM, CON-Servers Sinema & Manchin VOTED w/ republican CON-Servers AGAINST The people KEEPing USa from HEALTH 🔥💜🌎🌍🕊️🦅❣️
What on earth is their actual beef with social security other than politicians bankrupting it while we continue to pay in? Where in the hell are the Democrats???
It was already sold. None of these messages were new. Mike Lee stood on this before the election. They will continue to elect terrible people as long as there is an R on the ballot

I've said it before, and I will say it again-
Some people are wastes of oxygen and flesh.
Elon boosts the doomed facade,
Only wealth survives.
But I knew it wasn't right.
I couldn't stand seeing what you saw on a large scale.
So much unfairness.
Oh shit. It's the Libra in me...
My Lib family has guns because of the trump nut who used to live next door & threatened us.
