and for working 32-33 years on my feet social security gets me less than a grand a month. the corruption is very bad and i mean across all people. good luck getting anything but food stamps and medicaid sometimes crappy medicaid care if you do not have dependents. and no, not every one has a retirement plan or stock or any other type program. i made it a point to not be a burden on society during my working life. no credit cards. bought used vehicles. paid cash for everything. just to be slapped around in old age. yeah i'm furious.
