Cedric,
Thank you for exposing the root cause of the entire problem:
Everybody wants to keep everything they believe is their own!
<< I worked really really hard so I could retire from work early. I retired from work last year at age 52. All the years I worked I made a lot of money >>
If you made a large quantity of money then you should've invested quite a lot of it, and can therefore live off the returns from your own private investments. If you're dependent on SS, then you spent all your money like a Congressperson (i.e., irresponsibly) and you really can't afford to retire; can you?
If you wait a minute I'll find my tiny violin, and play you a sad, sad tune!!!
