If you go in to a Social Security office, you will see mostly young people signing up for disability payments which are larger than old folks SS payments. Many of them have questionable disabilities associated with minor mental problems etc. All they need is a lawyer who gets the first $4,000 of the benefit.
I paid the maximum into SS all my working life, and by my calculations, I will have to live to age 82 to break even at 5% interest. There are both winners and losers in the SS system. It is a marxist type system with big differences in what workers pay in, but small differences in the benefits at normal retirement. Don't believe the political crap. Know your facts.
