I saw a commercial for a shady law firm wanting to help people fight for their rights if they were denied what they "deserve" from SS.  One of the reasons listed was "depression".  That's right.  Some people get a SS check just to be depressed, or be alcoholic, or drug addicted.

I personally know 3 people who should not be, but are, drawing SS; all of them under 40.  Two of them have never worked a day in their life, two of them have supposed mental problems, one of them has a supposed health problem that prevents working but allows her to shop at the mall.   These 3 plan on drawing SS for the rest of their lives, and never working.

These are the freebies that anger me.  People that have never paid in, can act special in front of doctors, and never get their case reviewed, just draw SS their whole lives.  I've worked since I was 14 (PT until 18, then FT from then on).  I'm 49.  There won't be ANY SS left for me - because it all got given away to slackers who manipulate the system.  And believe me, if it was up to me NOBODY would get a raise because it just makes the amount I will get at full retirement age of 67 (if they don't push it back to 75 by then!!!!) smaller and smaller....as it stands today when I do draw SS I'll only get 78 cents on the dollar for everything I PAID in my whole life.  Sorry, none left for ME, we had to give MINE away to people whose whole lives have been a drain on society amd never paid a cent!

Plenty of people draw SS their whole life from the day they were born - like a few of octomom's brood!  But its OK, let her keep popping out the preemies, I'll give away a few more cents on MY retirement dollars so that she can!  This issue is not just about the elderly, so wake up and smell our future SS being squandered today!
