I realized that we can no longer vote once at the election and then wait around to the next cycle. Every one of us has to vote on every important piece of legislation by writing and calling Congressional representatives. Make your voice heard.
@mindak67@SenatorCollins Ah- no one will collect if they haven’t paid in to FICA, just like everyone else. Their SS will be paid out according to the quarters earned. Nothing extra. Some people worked both govt and private sector jobs, paid into both, and only get a little from each.
@HisShadow45 @azinthegarden @SenatorCollins Right. I paid my FICA taxes, as did my employers, with the expectation that there would be a benefit. I pay taxes with the expectation that the fire department will show up if I need them too.
