Reply #43: That "People are living longer TP" is pretty much BS.

Most of the increase in life expectancy is due to the decreased numbers of people who die in childhood. Looking at people who live to working age and pay into the system, it has not changed that drastically.

When you break it down by socio-economic class, there's really not much increase. Working class people who are, largely, dependent on SS after they are unable to work really don't survive significantly longer than they ever did. It's a scam they're selling to the American people in order to justify the theft of the SS trust fund.
