It's kind of amazing that it is now standard conservative orthodoxy that we should deport immigrants so their coveted fruit picking jobs can be taken up by child laborers and the elderly.
Grandma will be so excited for her new job in the fields!
Well, the federal government took about 15% of my income under the heading of SSI. When I applied for social security the amount I receive was based on how much I had paid into it. No matter how you cut it, dumped a bucket of money into something called SSI. Now some whining closet communist is upset because I'm getting some of it back.You don't pay into SSI. It is NOT funded by the Social Security taxes one pays when working.
"Social Security benefits may be paid to you and certain members of your family if you are “insured,” meaning you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes."
"SSI is financed by general funds of the U.S. Treasury. Social Security taxes do not fund the SSI program."

How Does Social Security Work? 12 Things You Can’t Afford Not to Know
You probably know that saving and investing are essential to retirement planning. But just as important to the equation: Social Security planning. It’s impossible to overstate the importance of Social Security to retirees. The truth is, Americans aren’t saving or investing enough for a secure...www.thepennyhoarder.com

You need to edumacate yourself on the difference between SS (social security), SSI (supplemental security income), and SSDI (social security disability insurance), as I suspect you're getting one or more confused.Well, the federal government took about 15% of my income under the heading of SSI.

This is a very good point that these guys always dance past. The type of manufacturing jobs they are trying to bring back here are very low value add and would pay peanuts. Why on earth would we want to import low wage, dangerous, environmentally costly jobs?You are getting more than all of it back, brainless dipshit.

By the way, this continues to work because our economy has advanced and moved past picking up heavy things. Here you are reaping the full benefits of the system, completely ignorant to how it works, while voting to rug pull for future generations either out of stupidity or malice.
Social Security: A Good or Bad Investment?

Well when I first worked for the company that I retired from, they hired me in Anaheim, CA as a field service technician to either work at New News (Poseidon) or Groton (Trident). It turned out I was going to Groton, via school at Cape Canaveral for 3 months. Yea, they had excellent school and training in those days, pushed ones and zeros through just about every circuit on the 4x4 TTL circuit card tech that was being used at that time . Anyway, someone said make sure when you get to your "home site" to tell Anaheim to drop SSI. It's a CA thing that I think he's talking about.Too mentally lazy and helpless.
It's labeled FICA on my checks, was there ever a point it was under the heading of "SSI"?
I just noticed this conglomeration of stupidity and sour grapes.
Apparently you don't understand that I didn't have a choice about paying into SSI. It's not voluntary, the money was taken from me.
Yes Americans are lazy. Have you noticed the panic over Trump deporting our peasant class? Who's going to pick our crops? Who's going to clean our homes and mow our lawns? Who's going to do every shit job were to important to do? The panic is amusing. Rather than working our way towards diabetes and a double bypass, we're going to have to start working, actually picking up heavy things.
Housing costs big issue for our Canadian federal election next week. Many closest Maple MAGA that are clones of greenie have basically said, they’d be fine voting for Hitler if he promised lower housing costs. And as long he’s not a bloody liberal also helps.Greenman has a desperate need not educate himself because he needs to be a victim of the woke “others” to explain his lot in life.
