While we pay 20,000k a year into SS (10k us and 10k delta), I will use my SS in retirement. If those “rich” people funded their SS, why they can’t use it?

SS is complimentary money, no one should be living out it alone. That also include my parents, but that’s what they currently have.

And please, tell me you’re not the NY320A Ca that’s saying FOs we should pay more taxes because we make a lot of money….
