you are probably being sarcastic, but as someone in their late 20s, I do not believe I will every get a social security payout. either the age requirements will keep getting pushed back as people live longer or the whole program will be abolished by the time I qualify.

I don't think I should pay into a system that I will never receive benefit from.

This belief does not seem to be well justified.

"Keep"? They've been pushed back once in the history of the program.

> I don't think I should pay into a system that I will never receive benefit from.

What do you propose the elderly living off of social security should do instead?

Keep voting as a bloc and hope the music doesn't stop during their lifetime?

honestly, it's not my problem and I don't care what they do as long as I don't get stuck with the bill.
