I have no problem with SS, in fact I was just pointing out the fact that 12% of every dollar you earn is earmarked for it, thus these numbers that people are drawing out to make it look like you are receiving more than you invested are completely false.

In fact I think people like myself and others who have prepared themselves for retirement properly should not even receive SS that way people like my mother could receive more. And even if my mother was well off I surely would never put her in a home to be cared for. In my opinion the number one decay in the west is not a moral decay it's a family decay, in Asia, Europe and South America it is totally normal to have the grandparents in the home.
