Social Security is a cruel hoax … unjust, unworkable … and wastefully financed.
Free board, dwelling, support and care in his old age, sickness and infirmity ….an annual sum of maintenance for him or herself, children and relatives.

When I was young, many people worked for a company with a pension plan that covered them for as long as they lived. If they didn't have a pension plan, they could count on Social Security and Medicare.
I had always believed that I would retire with Planned Parenthood.
The NFL pension is the worst in the world of business. It's an embarrassment.
Our country also hungers for leadership to ensure the long-term survival of our Social Security system. With 70 million baby boomers in this country on the verge of retirement, we need to take action to shore up the system.
I believe that social security should be a universal retirement guarantee and not means tested.
I'm getting so old my insurance company sends me 1/2 a calendar!
The myth is that people get their money back from Social Security. Not true. You get somebody else's money back. This is an intergenerational transfer.
I would not be opposed to devising a new system of pensions, in which one part was based on collective provision, but which also gave incentives for people to take out an additional, personal plan.
Careful economic research has shown public-sector workers receive a level of compensation, pension benefits, and retiree health coverage in excess of what comparable workers in the private sector enjoy. In some instances, the total premium can be 30 percent or higher.
My NFL pension can barely pay my son's tuition. You know, it's very little money.
I'm 78, I'm on my pension in Ireland, and all that good stuff.
From the employees' standpoint, in 1935, Social Security was a big gamble. Employees would be required to participate in the program, contributing a percentage of their income for their entire adult working life.
The 1935 Social Security Act established 65 as the age of eligibility for payouts. But welfare state politics quickly becomes a bidding war, enriching the menu of benefits, so in 1956 Congress entitled women to collect benefits at 62, extending the entitlement to men in 1961.
I don't support getting rid of Social Security.
I'd love to retire in terms of not having to go to work anymore and earn a living.
Social Security is an insurance policy. It's a terrible investment vehicle. Social Security has some great benefits. But it was never meant to be a savings plan. So we need to have a national debate. Should this 12.5 percent that we're contributing all go into a Social Security pool, or should half go into a mandatory savings plan?
A man has a birthright to be tired and retired. I am retired completely.
The Social Security Trust Fund should not be trusted and it is not funded.
So many distinguished members of our film fraternity like Lalita Pawar, A K Hangal and OP Nayyar faced financial hardships before they passed away. We need to look after the old and vulnerable entertainers.
I don't have a normal job, so I don't consider retiring.
Social Security works better than any other program in the world. Why dismantle it now?
Maybe UFC and Bellator should take care of the fighters when their careers are done, as the NFL takes care of their players. Because they're making so much money off us.
The U.K. is one of the few places in the world that has final salary pensions.
