Yes, it was called Social Security INSURANCE, AND you dont quote the numbers for the people that collect NOTHING. Both my parents died at age 62. We got $250 each to bury them, they never collected A DIME. Many illegal aliens I presume pay FICA and never collect SS. So it goes both ways. And to further prove its INSURANCE, as you say, people who paid in VERY LITTLE collected just as YOU WOULD if you had fire insurance and had a fire right after the first premium. However, to actually qualify for SS benefits you need to have 40 QUARTERS paid in which is 10 years. Otherwise I guess you get some minimum. Finally, I have paid in THE MAXIMUM my entire WORKING CAREER. I EXPECT my benefits, regardless of my MEANS. It is MY MONEY paid into MY ACCOUNT. jdn
