363 Look, and I'm not trying to be mean, but most people on welfare truly believe they earned it, that they are owed it. It's simple: When you're getting money that came out of someone else's pocket--you can come up with all sorts of justifications as to why it's fair. "
____
By the time I an eligible for SS I will have paid somewhere in the $600K ballpark into the system. So yeah my justification why I want something back is because I CONTRBUTED OVER HALF A MILLION FUCKING DOLLARS. And please don't insult me by calling me a welfare leach for fuck's sake.

Is that metaphoric for the light of God endowing him with insight? He's also holding a compass which is sometimes associated with the Creator. But he's just a guy who figured stuff out.
I'll give it the it might be better in person benefit of the doubt. I hate that the figure is smack dab in the middle and he's not particularly well rendered. The rest of it has the turn of the last century feel of an illustration for a book, as by Pyle or Wyeth.

You aren't a welfare leech.
What's clouding things is the sales pitch that you are "contributing." You've been told this, that's how it's sold, and it's very much wrong. You are being taxed. That tax money is distributed to other people. When you become eligible, other people are taxed to pay money to you.
The money was taken from you - you didn't contribute and it's very misleading for the government to say that.
Yes, it sucks, and it sucks by design.

Seriously, that is the kind of thing that Corbyn believes.
Boris is no savior. But May represented what you get when you just pull the average middle aged twit off the street and make her Prime Minister. Farage could be great (actually he has a history of getting into very destructive fights with all of his allies, who all end up ex-allies) plus, EVERYONE in Parliament hates Farage. I suspect, just from circumstantial evidence, that everyone who's ever spent any personal time with Farage hates Farage.
So, poor Great Britain - an entire country and not one single leader worth having the job.

Yeah I agree. It's a shitty system. But I've been sucked into it and now I'm stuck with it. That's my point.
Call it contribution, call it theft, call it whatever you want. The fact remains $600K of my money will have been transfered (who's that for a neutral word) from me to the govt. And I want at least some of it back.

Polak or Polack is the insult for those unfortunates who live in the flat bit between Germany and Russia. The second syllable is ahk.
Pollock is of course the fish, pronounced pawl-uck.
There is only the vaguest sight rhyme between the two words, and constantly trying to shoehorn fish puns into discussions of Polishitude is weak.

The Ring is a very good easy-to-set-up system. My concerns had to do with privacy...the videos are not stored locally and there's no way to get them to be stored locally. It's an Amazon-owned company as well.
I had an older system that did local recording and such, but for me to do a complete perimeter required a lot of wiring that I wasn't keen on doing. So I have Ring, which again works fine and I do like that I can get alerts and a live feed on my phone, but I keep going back to the privacy thing.

They work well for my purposes, which is to monitor the status of our battery system at the cabin from a remote location. They might be used as a video surveillance system for security, or at least for after-the-fact documentation. (Identifying a home intruder or catching your dog counter surfing). I don't think there's a limit to number of cameras. Free two week storage of motion activated video clips (which you can download to your own device for long term storage). Additional storage capacity can be purchased, which I think is their main revenue model. Alerts can be set to go to your cell phone. Has a night vision capability.

It's a common name. I know a guy with that name, and he's a very standup guy. There was a pitcher in the 80s with that name. Had terrific stuff, but lost more games than he won, playing for terrible teams most of his career.

It was great watching them realize how much larger the paper ones were and how they end up in the exact same place as the plastic ones that take up a lot less room.
Even better was asking them where paper comes from, and which straw they think required more herbicides, water runoff into streams, farm machinery, etc.

That is impossible to pay that much into SS.
Each year you can pay a maximum of 6.2% of $128,000
That is $7,900 per year.
If you paid that into SS for 45 years. it would amount to $355,500.
I can almost guarantee you that you did NOT make $128,000 when you were 20 years old.
So your figure for how much you will have contributed is double or triple or even more if, like me, you made a pittance in your twenties.
And.. if you contribute the max you will be getting over $33,000 per year in SS payments. You will have used up ALL of your contributions in about 10-12 years.

100% true. Had a good friend that was a smoker but used to "quit" regularly. They rolled tobacco generally, but whenever they had even a single pack of regular cigs (smoking at same pace) it made them insanely crazy when they stopped.
They also had to have one every 20 minutes like clockwork whereas the regular tobacco didn't call to them on a clock.
