To the editor:

Forty years ago, reforms were done to the Social Security Fund/system. With the government corruption rampant now and the government constantly borrowing from the Social Security Fund and Medicare, this entire system will be totally defunct and destroyed in ten years or less, especially since not enough workers are paying in any longer, all of which is taxation on the monies earned to begin with. Unbelievable that Congress, mostly Democrats now, are totally against saving the Social Security funds. Of course they don’t care about this system since they all seem to be quite wealthy, being in Congress for decades, unlike the hardworking taxpayers, paying into the fund to never see their monies returned to them. What sort of chaotic, insane America is this?
