Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Boomer entitlements!

Yes, for you simpletons, social security is an entitlement, you worked for it, your entitled to it. Just like your pay checks. You work for those, your entitled to them.

That would be Leroy headset and Jackoff Handy.

I was forced to pay for it. I worked for the money I made.

Social security WAS PART OF YOUR PAY for work you did. You earned that money, the gov't took it, you're entitled to it. You always were. The gov't should have kept their filthy hands off of it in the first place. You bet your ass I want mine back and will take it without one iota of guilt. Only a moron tries to turn entitled into a bad word and make you feel guilty about taking something you earned and are entitled to receive in exchange for work you did. Obviously this place is full of morons.

I just looked at my SS statement. To date I have paid, along with my employer (which has been me for many years) over $530,000 in to the program. So yes, I feel I am entitled to draw off that money. By the time I retire I will have paid closer to $600,000 in to the program and will draw maybe $4000 a month at age 67.

That is not a very good return on my investment, but we had no choice but to pay in to the program.

What about ppl on SS that never worked at all

This is a big part of the reason social security is going broke.

Yes indeed

and they believe they are entitled to SS

A schit show smh

As usual, you are not correct. I should be past surprise that you boomers lived your entire lives without bothering to learn anything about how these government programs work, but it still gets me.

Anyway, SS is funded via a tax. You have no contractual right to what you paid in because of that, and the money is not protected by the 5th Amendment. What you have is entitlement to benefits under the program if you qualify which you cannot be denied without Due Process.

according to many experts if the social security funds were managed as intended there would be boos of money to pay out as intended in social security.
but the bureaucrats run it so of course it was not managed as intended and robbed from.
and then added other stuff for it to pay. so they're in lies the problem for the most part.

the youngsters that think it's just another tax and you're not entitled to nothing need to go back and do some history research..
I'm not sure social security was ever meant to be a total form of comfortable retirement but a bit of a guarantee you would have something to fall back on..

I have been told if you're self-employed you do not have to pay the social security but then you will not be eligible to draw anything. even if you work say 20 years but then worked another 10 plus years not paying in you will forfeit everything you paid in the first 20.
I have been told I do not know if this is 100% true or if this is still true.

They took that money from of every pay check. I was entitled to it then, in compensation for work performed. Still am, since I never recived the full amount of payment for that work at the time, no matter how you or anybody else tries to spin it.

I’m 40 is there any hope

I didn't see where anyone made that claim. In fact, this thread exists because a Millennial told a boomer that SS is an entitlement program and that boomer threw a fit. You can see several others throwing the same fit over the course.

The fact is that a citizen is entitled to SS program benefits if they qualify and are to be paid out according to the benefit calculation the SSA uses.

Yes

Yes, the money came out of your check as a tax to fund the program that your generation repeatedly voted for despite there being enough of you to stop it.

What you are entitled to benefits from that government program as long as you qualify. This is different from the money that was taken out of your check because SS can't work any other way.

Fantastic😃

I don't recall the discontinuation of the SS program being up for grabs on any ballot.

Tha majic Nigkra had a plan just like Obamacare
