Today everything is called a "Right."

The only rights that exist in the US were in the first ten amendments.

SS is NOT a right. It's a scam.

Look at the actual law/act. You paid in. The govt. used the money for general purposes. Now they have to borrow MORE money to pay you back a fraction of what you paid IN.

The short of it is you were suckered. By FDR and the Democrats. Feel better now?
