re: My statement shows that $140,139 total taxes have been paid into the system on my behalf over the last 25 years. Most peoples statements don't show that. That's very high compared to the average. There are, and will be many more, people that depend on SS for subsistence living. And yes many are too dumb to make good investment decisions (many "smart" people on these threads are too dumb to make good investment decisions). Fact of life. Without the SS safety net, many of those people are on the street. The author also doesn't mention the folks that get disability SS benefits. If they are disabled at 20 years old and have only $5K saved, I suppose they are out of luck. In short I'm shedding crocodile tears for that poor guy that is getting less than market return on SS, while cherry picking time frames. Poor guy must have earned more than $1MM, didn't save a dime, and now he's whining about SS.
