1. SS is not a savings account. It is not your money being returned to you when you retire. It is present-day workers paying for present-day retirees. Read the SS site. There IS no return on your money. Today's workers give you part of THEIR income to take care of you, just as you gave part of YOUR income to take care of retirees when you were paying into the system. You will always get more than you put in bc the numbers are based on today's incomes and today's cost of living.
2. If I'm 65 or 75 or 85 and i want to work, i'll damn well work. There are other reasons besides money why people work. Sanity, for one. It isnt about your needs, or society's needs, it's about THE WORKER's needs, no matter how old they are.
3. If you want to protect yourself from supervisory whims, start a business.
