JUST IN: New York City and State Prosecutors Reportedly Investigating Trump for Fraud Over Tax Write-Offs
We could do a whole separate thread on social security...maybe we have, i don't recall
(1) Social Security is not a good investment, but it never was intended to be that---really, it was/is a tax on the people working to be paid to the elderly to get them out of the workforce and thus make room for the young...the young & unemployed were a very ominous threat to the democracy back in the 1930's (remember the bonus army & the business plot?) Social Security along with new deal programs like the PWA, CCC and WPA gave discontented citizens a reason to want their government to survive. So social security worked out---it gave the young more openings in the work force, and gave the elderly a reason to support their government continued existence.
(btw, several PFAer's have the same philosophy about debt--if you owe someone, that someone wants you to succeed long enough to repay them---really, debt you owe is a measure of how loved you are)
the problem with Social Security is the surplus run up starting in the 1980's was tapped by the federal government to give the rich tax cuts and fund juicy spending programs/contracts...now Social Security is running negative each year but the federal government has borrowed and spent the hoard---will the government default? medicare will go bust in 2023 and require funding from income tax to meet it's needs, so there is nothing left for government support of social security when it goes bust in the 2030's.
(2) I started drawing at the minimum age, 62---for each year deferred it takes 12 years to recoup...didn't want to risk being shut out / having benefits reduced in the future because of social security insolvency. If I waited to the maximum age, 70, i would have to live past 82 to come out ahead---the average lifespan for an white male is 78 (see why the federal government encourages you to defer drawing?) i believe over 45% of those eligible begin to draw at age 62.
btw, you mentioned you started drawing at 67...that is a special age in social security---it allows a spouse (or ex-spouse) to being to draw on your social security earnings without a charge to her benefits gathering. Was that why you started then?

(long before there was a PFA i had my Grenade & Crossbones avatar at DD)
only 40 quarters (10 years) of payments into the social security systems is required for someone to draw benefits...
but if you are self-supporting through gambling you ought to have filed a Schedule C, self employed income and through that paid social security taxes as well...if you did you may have more than 25 years worth of contributions to include in your benefits calculation.

Your level of stupidity is astonishing, nightfuckface. It's like stupid to the 19th power. You get out of SS what you pay into it. My checks reflect the 25 years I worked. If I would have worked 40 years the checks would be larger.
And the Mexicans could never outwork me. And this is for sure....your punk ass got no shot to outwork me.
Have you ever carried hundred pound form boards up out of a pit and stacked them on a truck? At 9600 feet altitude?
Have you ever moved furniture up 8 flights of stairs?
Have you ever stacked 63 pound boxes of pollock roe 12 hours a day for 42 days in a row?
Have you ever stacked cod sacks for 52 hours straight?
I've done all of that and more. I never ever let anyone outwork me.
But you ain't ever did any of that because you're a little bitch punk with air conditioned sinuses. You ain't got a callous on your hands, lightweight.
