I so have a job. And I pay a huge chunk of my check into social security, as I have been for over 20 years. And if the system collapses I'm not going to get a damn thing for all that money I paid in. So either stop fucking with social security or give my money back.

Yep, if they cut SS and I don’t get a damn thing… not even a refund of the past 20 years… that’s enough for me to go to war over. That’s enough for me to make some poor choices… so I would imagine, I wouldn’t be alone there.

Especially funny that a guy who's going to receive a pension we paid for is saying this

That's a very hopeful "if".
