Social Security and wealth.

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Where do you draw the line and why shouldn't he receive money from a system that he supported?

Again, how many people today would find it moral or credible if a man said about his wife, "I earn the most, I get to tell her what to do."

Nobody is denying he put in,  not the point. The point is it is still a pool, thus the word "social" and someone like Jeff with his money already have the "security'.

It isn't a matter of what he did, it is a matter of what someone that high up should want to do. Just like a moral husband isn't going to hold money issues over his wife if she is not draining him and he can afford it.

Social security was never meant to prop up billionaires. Saying once you have more than enough isn't a punishment to say others need it more than you do.  That is what "social" means. It isn't an argument to punish success.

But it sounds as though you’re the one advocating punishing success. If Jeff Bezos can’t draw the benefit because he’s already wealthy, isn’t that punishing him for being rich?
