Lots of retirees get out way more than they ever paid in.
This is the dumbest talking point ever. You leave out a little something called return. When I retire I might get about $3000 a month before taxes. If I would have been able to invest that same money myself over 40 years I would get at least 3 times that. Will I get back what I put in? Maybe. Depends how long I live. But all that means is I gave the govt a 40 year loan interest free.

Do you know how many people pay in and then die before they can draw a dime out? Or only draw for a year and die? You are worried about people who started working as teenagers and paid extra for these benefits while half the country never worked and have been living off the taxes we paid their entire life.. The Truth hurts.

You really want to get pissed? Your one time lump sum social security death benefit paid to your surviving spouse or dependent child is a whopping $255! It’s been that same amount since 1954 and has never been adjusted.
That won’t get a weeks worth of groceries. All to fund people who don’t work or don’t contribute.
