Hands off my Social Security
Bernie Sanders is proposing to change Social Security from what it is to a welfare program. He states that some folks who make a lot of money should not get any of the Social Security money that they paid into the system.
Instead, he wants to re-distribute their benefits to those who make less money.
This government should not have any authority to change any benefits for anybody who paid into the system, and if they had not “borrowed” all the funds in the first place, Social Security would be more than solvent today.
So, just send me all my contributions back, delete my name from the rolls of contributors and Sanders can do anything he wants. Just not with my part.
