Wow does this ever piss me off. So these fat cat fed workers get a nice pension. They have not been enrolled in SS. So they have not been paying in, right????. Now they get SS benefits??????
I've been paying into Social Stupidity all my life!!! Will I then get a pension???????.
Sucking up to Teachers? The teachers in my school district do NOT pay in to social security. How about a simple law that says if you didn’t pay in you don’t get it. Exception for spouses of deceased who paid in.
I worked in retail before I started teaching. SS tax was withheld from my paycheck. As a teacher I paid into the state’s teacher retirement program. Should I not be entitled to draw both since I paid into both?
Are you not able to now? If you paid in to SS for the required number of quarters, then I think it’s fair that you get both. If you never paid in or don’t have the required quarters, then no.
The WEP and GPO prevented that. This bill is correcting it, finally!
