I paid for their school. I wrote a check each month for their education.
I contribute my fair share to social security. It’s asinine to think otherwise. My benefits don’t go up as I pay more. I just receive less for every dollar that is stolen from me.
I’d rather eliminate social security.

Didn’t think otherwise, just wanted to get to this part:
You’d gladly use my tax dollars if it stopped your house from burning down, but you’d rather eliminate the single program keeping the nation’s elderly out of poverty than spend one tax dollar of yours. Certainly starting to sound like theft now.

Oddly I pay taxes as well. So if me using my tax dollars to pay for the fire services. Unless you live by me, you’re not paying for my fire services
I’d rather each person paid for their own retirement. It’s not that complicated. Hopefully when Trump wins again, we can finally end this Ponzi scheme. The answer is not to keep raising the rate of taxes on me to pay for a failed program.
If they raise them again. I’ll just retire.
