Well, in a way, you pay for my SS benefits even though I get far less of a return for my investment than I should get because malfunction junction has stolen the money to pay for programs like $800,000 to find out if goldfish get more FUed on tequilla or gin and African genital washing!
Not to worry though, my grandchildren will pay for your SS benefits unless they deside to kill every stupid politician in malfunction junction, which at this point I sincerely hope they do!!
