There are 63M who receive SS benefits but you said "50% on government welfare" social security is not WELFARE... are you saying you don't collect SS or will refuse it? you are just a stooge for right wing talking points

..and we might try to figure out how to get a little of the wealth into the hands of folks who will spend it rather than just counting and stacking it......playing who can get the most from the game of life Pretty sure the concept behind money is that it is to be used a unit of exchange for goods and services, not a door prize for having selected the right parents and buying the right politicians and winding up with the biggest stack of cash.... This is by far the most significant structural problem facing our economy Most of that money on the far right of the chart is out of circulation Forcing the creation of more fiat to simply keep things lubricated

There are 63M who receive SS benefits. So there are some 160M receiving some kind of government payment. Most of these folks are not working and paying taxes. Hey I paid SS taxes for 49 years. Been receiving SS for 8 months. Actuarially I will live for ~14 more years. Get off my back.
