After all an entitlement is something we are owed and that we have paid into...I have paid 10.4% into it all my life...and yes it is that rate since your employer really does not pay the 6.2%; he just takes it out of your pay and counts it as part of your "benefits"..

I am entitled to that money which has come out of all my paychecks through my working life


That is from another post. I loved the idea and had to make a post o FB about it. A caveat that does not seem to ever come up, Congress has been raiding social security for decades and reallocating that money. It has never been paid back.

People are ENTITLED to have it paid back since it is THEIR money.
