Those on SS believe they're victims, because they believe they actually paid in more than they're getting, which is 180 degrees from the truth. Medicare is precisely the same, except the average deficit is higher. 1/6 are getting food stamps, victims of society. And god knows how many are getting unemployment benefits or state medicaid benefits. It is absurd.


Many of them voting for the guy...is that stupidity of lack of understanding one's own base of voters. You chose.

Who in the world would think they paid more into their insurance than they will get out....maybe if they live to 95.....?
